Collagenous gastritis, without colonic involvement, is exceptionally rare. It is not known to be associated with IgA deficiency and scleroderma. This is the first report of this type of association. We present a 26-year-old white female with a past medical history of gastroesophageal reflux disease and scleroderma. She was evaluated for complaints of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed gastritis and duodenitis. Colonoscopy was normal. The histopathological report showed collagenous gastritis and focal lymphocytic duodenitis. A definitive treatment has not been established for this condition. Reporting such cases furthers understanding of the disease and will help to establish diagnostic criteria and to develop therapeutic strategies.
不伴有结肠受累的胶原性胃炎极为罕见。目前尚不清楚它是否与IgA缺乏症和硬皮病有关。这是关于这种关联类型的首例报告。我们报告一名26岁的白人女性,既往有胃食管反流病和硬皮病病史。她因腹痛和腹泻症状接受评估。食管胃十二指肠镜检查显示有胃炎和十二指肠炎症。结肠镜检查正常。组织病理学报告显示为胶原性胃炎和局灶性淋巴细胞性十二指肠炎症。针对这种疾病尚未确立明确的治疗方法。报告此类病例有助于加深对该疾病的了解,并将有助于确立诊断标准和制定治疗策略。
