celiac disease of 21 years duration is presented. There was widespread intestinal
metaplasia of the gastric antrum but the patient did not have typc A gastritis or
dermatitis herpetiformis. Previous studies have shown that some patients with
celiac disease have fundal gastritis but the natural history or premalignant potential
of this lesion is not well described. The gastric mucosa deserves more attention
in celiac disease. |
