Abstract:
Gastric pseudolymphoma is an inflammatory process that may simulate malignancy. In most reported cases, the initial diagnosis has been malignant lymphoma and treatment has been applied accordingly. We report a case of gastric pseudolymphoma wherein the diagnosis was made from multiple surgical biopsies, and follow-up now exceeds 11 years. To our knowledge no other case of untreated gastric pseudolymphoma has been reported. This case may more closely represent the biologic nature of this presumably benign condition.

01:26Gastritis II: Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of gastritis begins with the colonization of the stomach lining by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This bacterium spreads mainly via the oral-oral route through saliva or shared utensils, and can also be transmitted in overcrowded or unhygienic environments through contaminated water, despite its brief survival outside the body.ColonizationOnce ingested, H. pylori enters the stomach and begins colonization by navigating through the mucus layer lining the stomach wall. It...
01:11Pyloric Obstruction
Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...
