Idiopathic gastric abscess. A bizarre intramural lesion
Abstract
A case of localized gastric abscess producing an intramural filling defect in the stomach wall is presented. This condition is an unusual manifestation of phlegmonous gastritis and usually presents clinically with a less acute picture than diffuse phlegmonous gastritis. The clinical and roentgenographic features, pathology, treatment and prognosis are reviewed.
