Figure 2

Endoscopic and histologic appearance of gastrointestinal metaplasia in case 2. (a) shows the appearance of a prepyloric nodule with an erosion located on the lesser curvature of the antrum. A cold forceps biopsy was taken from a region adjacent to the erosion (arrow). (b) shows a low power image and (c) shows a high power histopathology image of the prepyloric nodule in case 2. The lamina propria is distended by a chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, irregular columnar cells filled with mucin, and an absence of brush border is noted, signifying an incomplete type.
