Abstract:
Objective To enrich the knowledge in large gastric folds. Methods We investigated 45 cases of large gastric folds in ten years (1990 - 2001) retrospectively. All cases were examined endo-scopically and histologically. Some of them were examined by endoscopic ultrasonography and upper gastrointestinal barium. Results Of 45 cases with large gastric folds there were 30 cases with gastritis (66. 7% ) , seven with malignant tumors( 15. 6% ) (five with gastric carcinoma and two with malignant lymphoma) , four with Menetrier disease(8. 9% ) , two with systemic lupus erythematosus, one each with Billroth II anastomosis and gastric ulcer. The diseases including tumors, Menetrier disease and connective tissue diseases were located in gastric fundus and/or body . Conclusion The diseases located in upper stomach have more clinical significance. All of endoscopic ultrasonography, upper gastrointestinal barium and endoscopic mucosal resection are helpful in differential diagnosis of the large gastric folds.
