[Cystic polyposis of the stomach (fundic gland polyps)--relationship to the absence of Helicobacter pylori infection and a therapy with drugs suppressing gastric acidity].

Background: Cystic gastric polyps (fundic gland polyps) have been diagnosed relatively frequently in recent years. The aim of the study was to assess their incidence and relation to possible etiological factors reported in the literature.

Material And Methods: Over a 5 year period, we have endoscopically and histologically proved cystic polyps in 32 patients.

Changing prevalence of some selected gastrointestinal diseases vis-à-vis H. pylori infection.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma presenting as cutaneous panniculitis.

In this report the case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (angiotropic lymphoma, intravascular angioendotheliomatosis, malignant endotheliomatosis) with panniculitis features is present. The diagnosis was based on finding of typical CD20 positive tumorous cells within capillaries, veins, and small arteries in the biopsy of subcutaneous adipose tissue. An accurate and early diagnosis together with combined chemotherapy resulted in good response and remission of the disease.
