While the roentgen appearance of generalized hypertrophic gastritis can often be recognized, the localized forms are frequently difficult to differentiate from carcinoma. Even gastroscopically the differentiation between a localized inflammatory infiltration and one which is neoplastic cannot always be made.

Brunn and Pearl¹ first called attention to the fact that a malignant lesion can be simulated by chronic hypertrophic gastritis. Subsequently, Konjetzny² and Schindler³ reported similar instances. In the past three years we have encountered 5 cases in which the roentgen and gastroscopic appearance of localized chronic hypertrophic gastritis simulated carcinoma of the stomach.
