Abstract:
Gastric polypoid lesions are found in ∼1-4% of patients who undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The hyperplastic lesions are considered non-neoplastic polyps that are distributed randomly in the stomach and they are usually related to chronic gastritis as a result of the exaggerated mucosal healing response. Although several conditions have been associated with celiac disease (CD), such as thyroiditis, Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and autoimmune hepatitis, the association with gastric polyps is rare. In this case series, we present seven newly diagnosed patients (six women) with CD and hyperplastic gastric polyps. Helicobacter pylori infection was ruled out through histology in all the patients and two out of seven had a history of occasional proton pump inhibitor use. An unusual association was found between CD and hyperplastic polyps in this case series.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
