Benign Gastric Ulcers

The typical localization of a benign gastric ulcer is in the angulus region - in the border zone between corpus and antrum - on the lesser curvature. All these ulcers are benign - but one can never know and multiple biopsies and follow up of lesions like these is clearly indicated.

Another - this time very small - ulcer at the angulus, the typical localization.

Healing of a Large Benign Ulcer

A man about 70 years old, with stomach pain, vomiting and anemia - and a large but benign ulcer above the angulus in the small curvature. The second picture shows the same ulcer after one mohths treatment with omeprazole, and after 3 months treatment only a scar is visible (the third picture).

... and the finding after one month of treatment with a proton pump inhibitor.
