| Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
 | |
|
| |
| 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:
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:
- Compare with other types of gastric atrophy.
DDx:
- Gastric neuroendocrine tumour.
- Intestinal metaplasia of the stomach with chronic inflammation.

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

Sign out
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.
