Introduction:
Gastric lymphoma takes 70% of lymphomas in gastric tract. Lack of characteristic symptoms and histological changes makes these disease difficult to recognize. The aim of the study was to search for specific constellation of the symptoms due to validation of diagnostic standards.
Material And Methods:
Retrospective analysis of clinical data for the group of 64 patients treated during 10 years in Hematology Department of Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin.
Results:
Recognition of gastric lymphoma in 80% was based on gastrocopy and histopatology examination. Gastrectomy was useful in 14 cases. Classic Ultrasound Abdomen Examination confirmed changes in 40%. Epigastic pain was raported as the most common symptom (54 from 64 patients). Systemic symptom appears in 34/64 patients (usually the loss of the body mass).
Conclusions:
1. Clinical symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in gastric localization are not specific. Epigastric pain, nausea and body mass lost are the symptoms the most often reported and physical symptoms do not reflect in systemic disease. 2. The standard of examination should consist of the transesophageal sonography (EUS) completed with multiple biopsy of gastric membrane and Hp tests.

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
