From: Relevance of pepsinogen, gastrin, and endoscopic atrophy in the diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis
Representative endoscopic findings associated with autoimmune gastritis. Endoscopic findings of O4 with vascular visibility in the entire area of the greater curvature of the corpus (a). O3 with spared vascular visibility in a part of the greater curvature of the corpus (b). O2 with spared vascular visibility in the entire area of the greater curvature of the corpus (c). O1 with vascular visibility in the lesser curvature of the corpus (d). The endoscopic atrophic border is indicated by a dotted line (b–d). Endoscopic findings of corpus-predominant advanced atrophy (O4) with a non-atrophic antral part (antrum [e1] and corpus [e2]). Endoscopic findigs of the disappearance of the fold in the greater curvature of the gastric body (a, b, e2). Typical endoscopic findings of sticky adherent dense mucous (f) and multiple hyperplastic polyps in the proximal stomach (g).
