21. Endoscopic findings and diagnostic criteria
Fundamental types Definition according to endoscopic findings
1. Superficial gastritis Findings including edema and redness
(spotted, patchy, linear) are observed
2. Hemorrhagic gastritis Hemorrhage is evidenced
3. Erosive gastritis Erosive changes including flat or
depressed types
4. Verrucous gastritis Erosive changes including elevated type
5. Atrophic gastritis Findings such as color change of mucosa,
visible vascular pattern and thinning are observed
Metaplastic gastritis Intestinal metaplasia is noted
Hyperplastic gastritis Remarkable irregularity of mucosa or rugal
hypertrophy of greater curvature in corpus
6. Special gastritis (Refer to the appendix)

28. Eosinophilic gastritis
(a) Low-power microscopic view of a biopsy specimen from the gastric lesion
showing foveolar dilatation and denseinfiltration of inflammatory cells (x 20).
(b) High-power view of the specimen showing that most of the infiltrating cells are
eosinophils (x100).
