Abstract
We report a case of phlegmonous gastritis in a 36βyearβold man presenting with anorexia, epigastralgia, and high fever. Endoscopy showed an edematous lesion suggesting a submucosal lesion. Endosonography revealed thickening of the gastric wall, mainly involving the submucosa, with a few anechoic areas. The separation between the submucosa and the muscularis propria was unclear. The patient was treated with antibiotics and endoscopic mucosal resection. Culture of the aspirated pus from the lesion revealed Streptococcus pyogenes. Followβup endosonography performed 1 week later showed significant improvement. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2007
