Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis
Diagnosis in short

Atrophic gastritis (body) without appreciable parietal cells. H&E stain.
LM corpus predominant inflammation - usu. moderate or severe, loss of parietal cells, increased G cells in the antrum
LM DDx chronic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, gastric neuroendocrine tumour
Site stomach
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work antibodies to parietal cells & intrinsic factor, macrocytic anemia, increased gastrin level
Endoscopy erythema - corpus only
Clin. DDx diffuse chronic gastritis

Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis, also autoimmune gastritis[1] (abbreviated AIG), is a rare pathology of the stomach. It is closely associated with pernicious anemia.

General

  • Pathology: loss of parietal cells, gastric atrophy.
  • Lab: classically considered to have macrocytic anemia; however, normocytic and microcystic more common.[2]
  • Etiology: autoimmune.

Diagnosis based on serology for antibodies to:[3]

  • Parietal cells.
  • Intrinsic factor.

Others:

  • Gastrin level (increased).[4]
    • Normal < 100 pg/mL.[5]

Note:

  • Parietal cells produce intrinsic factor (important for vitamin B12 absorption) and hydrogen chloride, i.e. stomach acid.

Gross

  • Erythema - corpus involved, antrum spared.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Corpus predominant inflammation - usu. moderate or severe - key feature.
  • Loss of parietal cells.
  • Increased G cells in the antrum.
    • Produce gastrin to stimulate the (missing) parietal cells.

Notes:

DDx:

  • Gastrin -ve (body of stomach).
    • +ve in antrum.

STOMACH, BIOPSY:
- SEVERE CHRONIC ACTIVE GASTRITIS WITH EXTENSIVE INTESTINAL METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.

COMMENT:
Parietal cells are not apparent on the H&E stained sections. Immunostains show 
rows of Chromogranin A positive cells and a lack of gastrin staining.  

These findings suggest an autoimmune gastritis; correlation with blood work 
is suggested.
