Abstract:
The authors report 14 cases of lymphocytic gastritis, 13 of which correspond to an endoscopic appearance of varioliform gastritis. Epigastric pain was present in 91.6% of cases. Varioliform pattern corresponded to an antral site in 69.2% of cases and to the body in 30.8% of cases. Lymphocytic gastritis was diagnosed in 7 cases (46%), 6 of which corresponded to a varioliform gastritis. An associated duodenal ulcer was noted in 28.5% of our cases of lymphocytic gastritis.
