Granulomatous gastritis (GG) is a subtype of chronic gastritis which may be infectious, non-infectious, or idiopathic in nature. For treating clinicians, granulomatous gastritis has always been a diagnostic challenge because of the same clinical and endoscopic features between Crohn’s disease and tuberculosis. A diagnosis can be reached only by the combination of histopathological examination with clinical and laboratory investigations. Several studies showed that granulomas are more common in the antrum and are generally located superficially within the gastric pit where the gastric bacteria H.pylori are seen, which can cause damage. We are reporting two rare cases of granulomatous gastritis associated with H.pylori in a 40-year-old male and a 43-year-old female with a negative family history of tuberculosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
