Abstract:
An 85-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with the chief complaint of sudden upper abdominal pain. The patient suffered from anorexia and epigastric pain for a month, and a local physician suspected a diagnosis of gastric ulcer. An abdominal computed tomography(CT)scan showed intraperitoneal free air as well as irregular thickening and thinning of the gastric wall. Gastric ulcer perforation was suspected, and an emergency operation was performed. Surgical findings showed thickening of the gastric wall in the pylorus and gastric corpus but partial thinning of areas of the anterior wall of the gastric corpus with a perforation measuring 5 mm. A distal gastrectomy and reconstruction were performed using the Billroth Ⅱ method. The histopathological diagnosis was malignant gastric lymphoma(diffuse large B- cell lymphoma). Considering the patient's age and general condition, chemotherapy was not administered after surgery. The patient was alive without recurrence 8 months after the operation.

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...
01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
