Abstract
|
|
|
Collagenous gastritis (CG) is a rare disorder that is characterized by the presence of a thick subepithelial collagen band with multiple infiltrated inflammatory cells of the gastric mucosa. CG is divided into two major subsets: first, in children and young adults presenting with severe anemia and abdominal colic pain (pediatric-type CG); and second, in adult patients with chronic watery diarrhea associated with collagenous colitis (adult-type CG). We report two cases of pediatric-type CG, each presenting with refractory anemia and chronic diarrhea.
