Resumen
HOLZER, Carolina et al. Chronic ischemic gastropathy as a simulator of plastic linitis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.6, pp.955-958. ISSN 0025-7680.
Chronic ischemic gastropathy is a rare entity, being the atheroesclerotic vascular the most prevalent cause. Clinical and endoscopic manifestations are unspecific and may simulate more frequent pathologies. Cardio vascular risk factors allow us to diagnose and treat these patients earlier. We present the case of a patient with chronic ischemic gastropathy that manifested abdominal pain, weight loss and endoscopic findings as a simula tor of linitis plastica. The diagnosis was made with an endoscopic block biopsy after two inconclusive biopsies.
