[The characteristics of rarely encountered forms of stomach ulcers]

Studies carried out by the authors provided basis for distribution of rarely occurring chronic gastric ulcers into groups: according to the site (proximal ulcers), to the size (giant ones), to the number (multiple ones), and to the typologic features (combined with duodenal ones and ulcers of the pyloric ring and prepyloric part of the stomach). The given ulcers differ from genuine ones in the appearance and the rate of complications determined by morphologic criteria.
