We experienced three young patients with diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastric antrum. The peculiar nodularity of the stomach in tliese patients is another cause of etat mammelanne in addition to hypertrophic gastritis and prominence of the areae gastricae. The etiology of the diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastric antrum is not known. The symptqm is not specific and not related to hitologic and gastroscopic finding but rather to psychological disturbance. We propose longstanding observation for the change of the nodularity.
