| Abstract: | The clinical, endoscopic and histological findings of 14 cases with unusual gigantic ulcers of the stomach were reported. The patients were mainly aged, complicated by cardiovascular diseases. The ulcer was designated as "trench ulcer" from the characteristic endoscopic features, which ran from the cardiac portion to the angle along the lesser curvature. |
