Collagenous gastritis: a case report
Abstract
Background: Collagenous gastritis is a rare disease defined histologically by the subepithelial deposition of collagen bands thicker than 10 μm and the infiltration of inflammatory mononuclear cells in the lamina propria. There are approximately 60 reported cases of collagenous gastritis in the English literature.
Case report: We present a 41-year-old female patient with weight loss, postprandial abdominal discomfort, early satiety, flatulence and a change in bowel habits. Her current laboratory investigation reports showed mild sideropenic anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and corresponding histological examination showed findings, typical for collagenous gastritis. Gastric emptying scintigraphy and SPECT/CT of abdomen revealed gastroparesis.
Conclusion: Collagenous gastritis is a diagnostically challenging disease and its exact etiology remains unclear. Even though collagenous gastritis is a histologic diagnosis, the combination of other key clinical and endoscopic findings should prompt consideration of this entity. No safe and effective treatment has been established. Therefore, better understanding of the disease and study of a larger number of patients will help to establish diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies.
