ResumoSummary The differential diagnosis between giant hypertrophic gastritis, gastric carcinoma and lymphosarcoma 29 is difficult. There are no diagnostic clinical or laboratory findings in the patients who developed gastric carcinoma to distinguish them from the larger group with uncomplicated hypertrophic gastritis. Giant hypertrophic gastritis alters the gastric mucosal pattern to such an extent that further alteration by superimposed carcinoma is difficult to detect roentgenologically. Gastroscopy is of value 30, 31 but even with gastroscopy it is frequently impossible to differentiate hypertrophic gastritis from carcinoma32. The early recognition of the development of carcinoma in hypertrophic gastritis must still depend on a high index of clinical suspicion, combined with repeated gastroscopic and roentgenologic observation.
