Gastric ulcer, also stomach ulcer, is pathology of the stomach that is evident grossly. It can be benign or malignant.
General
- May be benign or malignant.
Causes:
- Gastric carcinoma.
- Peptic ulcer disease.
- Syphilis.[1]
- Other causes.
Gross
- Heaped (raised) edges - suggestive of cancer.
- Punched-out appearance with flat edges - suggestive of benign.
Notes:
- The classical teaching is to biopsy the ulcer edge, as the dictum is: the cancer is there; this dictum may not be true.[2]
- Ulcer with clean base refers to nothing "in" the ulcer (depression); these may be benign or malignant.[3]
- The term is within a popular classification of upper GI bleeding.[4]
