Two Cases of White Globe Appearance in Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis

الملخص EN

In this report, we described two patients with white globe appearance in autoimmune atrophic gastritis.

Endoscopy revealed multiple white substances in the stomach in both cases.

Biopsied specimens from the lesions contained dilated glands and showed a decrease in parietal cells.

Intraglandular necrotic debris and carcinoma were absent.

These results confirmed that white globe appearance can be observed in autoimmune atrophic gastritis.

Moreover, microscopic features for white globe appearance observed in these cases were different from those reported previously in gastric cancer lesions and were similar to those observed for noncancerous stomach.
