The patient was diagnosed as Crohn’s disease and further workup revealed multiple strictures in the small bowel though large bowel was normal and subsequently managed with azathioprine and supportive medications. [tropicalgastro.com]

The mucosa can, however, also appear normal, which requires high clinical suspicion in further workup. The antrum and pylorus are most commonly involved in LP, while the fundus is the least involved. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

In addition, this video provides the viewer a comprehensive workup of such a patient presentation with radiologic and endoscopic diagnostic modalities utilized. [endoscopedia.com]

The patient was admitted to the hospital and underwent an additional workup, including upper endoscopy. The endoscopic examination revealed a large friable mass in the antrum. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Sometimes an endoscopic ultrasound is useful to establish the diagnosis and in guiding treatment. The treatment for linitis plastica is a controversial issue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The term, which does not specify the etiology, was first used in 1865 by Brinton,1 who considered the lesion to be an advanced stage of gastritis, but did not exclude cancer. [jamanetwork.com]

Her scrutinizing clinical history and examination negated any systemic conditions; while the discrimination between local etiologies rested upon histopathological confirmation. [ccij-online.org]
