[Clinico-radiological considerations on senile atrophic gastritis].
59 cases of patients in geriatric age have been examined in which clinical symptomatology, radiographic exams and laboratory data had indicated the possible presence of gastric neoplasia. The repetition of the radiographic exam after giving methoclopramide for some days has demonstrated, excluding neoplastic lesion, that it was senile atrophic pseudo-tumoral gastritis. The diagnosis has been confirmed in numerous cases by gastroscopy with biopsy.
