  • - Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma is a rare variant of follicular lymphoma that generally has a good prognosis and can be asymptomatic or present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms.

Article Synopsis
  • Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) causes higher gastrin levels, leading to changes in the gastric mucosa and an increased risk of developing gastric polyps.
  • A study involving 612 AIG patients over a median of 4 years found that 36.3% developed gastric polyps, with various types identified, including inflammatory and adenomatous types, along with some cases of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (gNENs) and adenocarcinomas.
  • The findings highlight the need for regular endoscopic monitoring and histopathological assessments in AIG patients due to the significant risk of gastric polyps and related complications.
