Collagenous gastritis is a rare entity, characterized by the deposition of a subepithelial collagenous band with an inflammatory infiltrate in the mucosa. We report the first Tunisian case revealed by severe anemia. Lesions were limited to the stomach and remained unchanged on 3 series biopsies during a 24 month follow up despite treatment with corticosteroids. The cause of the disease remains unknown; our findings suggest that lesions of collagenous gastritis may result from a local immune process.

胶原性胃炎是一种罕见的疾病，其特征是黏膜下有一条胶原带沉积，并伴有炎症浸润。我们报告了突尼斯首例因严重贫血而发现的病例。病变局限于胃部，在24个月的随访期间，尽管使用了皮质类固醇进行治疗，但3次系列活检结果显示病变并无变化。该病的病因仍然不明；我们的研究结果表明，胶原性胃炎的病变可能是由局部免疫过程引起的。
