Abstract

A 53-year-old lady with dysfunctional renal transplant and post-surgical hypoparathyroidism with phosphocalcic metabolism impairment was admitted to hospital because of long-lasting epigastric pain and nausea. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed, visualising a nodular lesion of 1 cm diameter with a depressed and ulcerated base. Microscopically the lesion was in relation with a metastatic calcinosis ulcer. Pantoprazole was initiated and serum phosphocalcic levels adjusted, achieving symptom remission. In the follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the lesion was healing with a fibrinous base and the histopathological report diagnosed superficial gastritis.
