Abstract

1. 1. Six cases of giant hypertrophic gastritis are reported. One case with massive bleeding is described, and this frequent complication is emphasized. 2. 2. Review of the literature indicates that this condition is not so rare as is frequently stated. 3. 3. The etiology is obscure and diagnostic methods usually lead to suspicion of gastric cancer. 4. 4. The results of treatment have varied. Partial gastrectomy is recommended for those patients with hemorrhage or obstruction, but does not appear to be necessary in uncomplicated cases.
