    Abstract:
    The clinico-pathologic entity of idiopathic granulomatous gastritis is a form of granulomatous gastritis, distinct from Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, infections, foreign bodies, malignancy or vasculitis. The case of a 61-year-old female is described who was admitted on account of progressive weight loss, diffuse abdominal pains, post-prandial vomiting. Gastroscopy revealed a pyloric stenosis managed surgically. Pathological examination of the resected stomach showed numerous non-caseating granulomas in the lamina propria. No definite aetiological factor could be detected. A diagnosis of idiopathic granulomatous gastritis was made. She remains well 5 years later and has not developed regional enteritis, sarcoidosis, or any other generalized diseases.
