Gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining, often requires histology for diagnosis. This study highlights two gastritis cases with uncommon causes where histology confirmed the diagnosis despite non-specific endoscopic findings.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Pathology
Background:
- Gastritis is gastric mucosa inflammation, diagnosed via histology.
- Helicobacter pylori is the most frequent cause of gastritis.
