Chemical Gastritis / Reactive Gastropathy
Differential Diagnosis
- Superficial biopsies showing foveolar hyperplasia may appear identical to:
- Menetrier disease
- Localized hyperplasia adjacent to other lesions
- Hyperplastic polyps
- Cronkhite-Canada polyps
- Full thickness specimens and clinical and endoscopic correlation are required to demonstrate the extent of foveolar hyperplasia and atrophy of oxyntic glands
