Lymphocytic gastritis, abbreviated LG, is a rare form of gastritis, typically associated with celiac disease or Helicobacter pylori infection.

General

The DDx is limited:

  1. Celiac disease - most common (39 of 82 cases in one series[1]).
  2. Helicobacter gastritis - common (30 of 82 cases in one series[1]).
  3. NSAIDs.[citation needed]
  4. Idiopathic.
  5. HIV/AIDS.
  6. Crohn's disease.
  7. Lymphoma.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • 25 lymphocytes / 100 epithelial cells.
