title: Subepithelial hemorrhages and erosions of human stomach.
abstract: Subepithelial hemorrhages and erosions of the stomach are being studied extensively in experimental animal models but have not been well-characterized in humans. The definitions of these hemorrhagic and erosive lesions are not uniform and are often further confused by being labeled with the blanket term "gastritis." We define these lesions from an endoscopic perspective, describe the clinical settings in which they occur, and provide endoscopic-histologic correlations, where available.
