主 訴:心窩部不快感
家族歴:姉1人が胃癌で死亡
既往歴:15歳慢性関節リウマチ,47歳胆石手術
現病歴:慢性関節リウマチのため他院で長期間ステロでド剤の投与をうけていたが詳細は不明,同治療は当院受診直前まで継続.1976年4月6日当院整形外科受診,関節リウマチと診断,関節腔内ヘリンデロン2mgを2回注入.初診より入院まで約4カ月間にリンデロン95mgの経口投与をうけ通院.

A 61-year-old woman, who had been treated by steroid for rheumatoid arthritis for a long time, com plained of epigastric discomfort. The X-ray examination of the stomach revealed a shallow depressive lesion of uneven edge with converging folds and marginal elevation on the anterior wall near the lesser curvature at the prepyloric region. The gastroscopic examination demonstrated also the depressive lesion with marginal elevation. Numerous bleeding spots and islet-like prominences were observed on the surface of the lesion. The biopsy specimens were not malignant. The gastroscopic impression was Ⅱc type of early career or malignant lymphoma. Partial gastrectomy was then performed.
Gross inspection of the resected stomach showed a depressive lesion, 20 X 25 mm, like Ⅱc type of early cancer on the anterior wall near the lesser curvature at the prepyloric region. The surface of the lesion was smooth and one of the converging folds was abnormally widened, but not slender.
The histopathological findings revealed healed ulcer (Ul-Ⅱ stage) accompanied with interruption of muscularis mucosae. The pathogenesis of this case was presumed to be the long term steroid administration, but this erosion was not a typical steroid induced ulcer. If the gastric erosion like this case had been observed endoscopically for the period from genesis to healing, it might have been diagnosed as Ⅱc type of early cancer or a single widespread benign erosion. Careful follow-up study and repeated endoscopic biopsies are extremely important for these gastric lesions. Especially we would like to emphasize the importance of the above mentioned follow-up study and examinations. We have to concentrate our efforts on them in order to arrive at a diagnosis correctly.
