Özet:

 


Objectives:
Endoscopic
nodular gastritis is usually used to describe the miliary nodular appearance of
the gastric mucosa during endoscopy. Recent
studies have shown that nodular gastritis is closely related to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
infection and may cause stomach cancer, especially in young women. We aimed to
determine the frequency of nodüler gastritis in this study, other lesions seen
during endoscopy, H. pylori frequency
and histopathological findings. 


Methods: Adult patients who underwent endoscopy between March
2015 and April 2017 were identified. Medical records of patients; demographic
characteristics, endoscopic features and pathologic were investigated
retrospectively. Patients with nodular gastritis were compared with age and
gender matched control group. 


Results: Of the 1877 patients evaluated, 39 patients with
endoscopic nodular gastritis and 72 as control group were enrolled. The
prevalence of H. pylori infection was
significantly higher in patients with endoscopic nodular gastritis than in the
control group (74.35% versus 63.88%, p
< 0.0001). The most common concurrent endoscopic findings were erosions (25.64%).
Histopathologically, the prevalence of atrophic gastritis and intestinal
metaplasia in the patients with endoscopic nodular gastritis was also higher
than in the control group (p < 0.05).










Conclusions: Nodular gastritis is often caused by chronic H. pylori infection. It is observed more
frequently in women and children. Most patients with H. pylori infection have no specific symptom or complication, but
some patients may develop premalign conditions such as active gastritis,
atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. For this reason, H. pylori eradication in patients with
nodular gastritis may reduce the development of peptic ulcer and possibly
gastric malignancy.
