Russell Body Gastritis Treated With Helicobacter pylori Eradication Therapy: Magnifying Endoscopic Findings With Narrow Band Imaging Before and After Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Russell body gastritis is considered a benign inflammatory disease. This is the first report that documented the disease's natural history over a 15-month period and the response to eradication of Helicobacter pylori, with follow-up for another 15 months. In addition, Russell body gastritis was observed with magnifying endoscopy and narrow-band imaging. In the period of 30 months, we were able to record progression of the disease in the untreated state and its complete regression after clearance of H. pylori.

Therapeutic or spontaneous Helicobacter pylori eradication can obscure magnifying narrow-band imaging of gastric tumors
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS We previously reported that narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy (NBI-ME) revealed a unique "gastritis-like" appearance in approximately 40 % of early gastric cancers after Helicobacter pylori eradication. Because rates of gastric cancer are increasing in patients with non-persistent infection of H. pylori, we aimed to clarify contribution factors to obscure t...
متن کاملIs narrow-band imaging useful for histological evaluation of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma after treatment?
BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic diagnosis of stomach mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is often difficult because few specific findings are indicated. Even when MALT lymphoma is suspected by endoscopy, it is still difficult to make a definitive diagnosis by biopsy because lymphoma cells sometimes distribute unevenly. We previously reported that a tree-like appearance (TLA) is a ch...

A reddish depressed lesion was found in the corpus of the stomach of a 56-year-old man. Gastric biopsy showed no findings of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, including lympho-epithelial lesions. A urea breath test, stool antigen test and serum IgG antibody to Helicobacter pylori test were negative. Magnifying endoscopy using narrow-band-imaging showed no malignant structures. Gastric...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Russell Body Gastritis Treated by Helicobacter pylori Eradication
Russell body gastritis was first defined in 1998, but not many cases have been reported since then. The exact causes and process of this condition are unknown yet; however, considering the reported cases, it has been highly suggested to have correlation with Helicobacter pylori infection. Russell body gastritis has a non-specific clinical presentation of gastritis such as gastric mucosal edema ...
متن کاملRussell Body Gastritis: an Unusually Presentation of the Chronic Gastritis
Russell body gastritis is a rare form of chronic gastritis. It is characterized by the invasion of lamina propria by plasma cells that included eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion. In the literature, most of the cases are associated with Helicobacter pylori. Russell body gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection are generally seen together incidentally. We report here two cases of Russell body...
