Abstract
Nodular gastritis is defined as antral gastritis usually characterized endoscopically by a miliary pattern resembling gooseflesh and pathologically by prominent lymphoid follicles and infiltration of mononuclear cells. This physiological phenomenon was once considered particular to young women. Recent studies have shown that nodular gastritis is strongly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and may be associated with gastric cancer. Reported cases of gastric cancer with nodular gastritis showed some features in common: all gastric cancers were diagnosed histologically as the diffuse‐type, and all were located in the corpus with Helicobacter pylori infection. Because nodular gastritis may be a risk factor for diffuse‐type gastric cancer, Helicobacter pylori may need to be eradicated to prevent gastric cancer in patients with nodular gastritis.
