Phlegmonous gastritis is an unusual infection of the gastric wall,which is extremely rare and associated with a poor prognosis.Here,we report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of splenectomy,who had phlegmonous gastritis after esophagectomy.Computed tomography revealed a remarkably distended thoracic stomach,and the gastric wall was locally thickened.Gastric mucosa was red and white in color and significantly edematous on gastroscopy.He was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotics and povidone-iodide intraluminal lavage.In addition to this case,the clinical presentations,imaging examinations as well as treatments of phlegmonous gastritis are discussed.
Phlegmonous gastritis is an unusual infection of the gastric wall, which is extremely rare and associated with a poor prognosis. Here, we report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of splenectomy, who had phlegmonous gastritis after esophagectomy. Computed tomography revealed a remarkably distended thoracic stomach, and the gastric wall was locally thickened. Genetic mucosa was red and white in color and significantly edematous on gastroscopy. He was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotics and povidone-iodide intraluminal lavage. Addition to this case, the clinical presentations, imaging examinations as well as treatments of phlegmonous gastritis are discussed.
