Gastric siderosis is the deposition of excess amount of iron from oral ferrous sulfate supplements to the gastric mucosa. It is an often overlooked entity in the literature and can be related to symptoms such as dyspepsia, nausea, and melena through mucosal injury. Different etiologies of gastric siderosis display distinct histopathological patterns. Pattern B, which is most commonly associated with oral iron supplements, is seen when iron is deposited in the extracellular space of the lamina propria. It is crucial to consider gastric siderosis as a potential diagnosis in symptomatic patients and to evaluate the necessity of oral ferrous sulfate supplements.

A 71-year-old man presented for a routine physical examination with multiple comorbidities, including severe panvascular disease and valvulopathy, requiring anticoagulation therapy. He had a history of chronic hemolytic anemia and had been taking oral ferrous sulfate for two years. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) was performed, as part of the study of the persist anemia, revealing an extensive nodular area with multiple brownish deposits and spontaneous hemorrhage.

Three histologic patterns of gastric siderosis (GS) are described: pattern A (predominantly in lamina propria stromal cells-gastric lamina propria siderosis [GLPS]), pattern B (mostly extracellular crystalline iron) and pattern C (predominantly in glandular epithelium-gastric glandular siderosis [GGS]). This study aimed to analyze the association of GGS with clinicopathologic features using 3 cohorts. Cohort #1 consisted of 76 gastric siderosis cases.

Ferrous sulfate is an oral iron supplement commonly used to treat iron deficiency anemia. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract mucosal damage with associated tissue iron accumulation can sometimes occur with therapeutic dosages of oral iron-containing medications. A distinct histologic pattern of iron deposition with associated inflammatory and reactive changes caused by mucosal injury from oral iron-containing medications has been most commonly described within gastric biopsies and has been referred to as "iron-pill gastritis".
