ResumoSignificant healing was observed in 51 (70.8%) of 72 malignant gastric ulcers found in a group of 122 cases of early gastric cancer. An unusually well documented case of complete healing of a malignant gastric ulcer has been described in detail. A plea for careful endoscopic follow-up of gastric ulcer healing has been made. A life cycle of ulceration, healing, and recurrent ulceration for malignant ulcers has been proposed.
