Ciliated metaplasia in the gastric mucosa. In an American patient.
We report the first case of ciliated gastric metaplasia found in a Caucasian American patient. Cilia were found in cystically dilated glands underneath a gastric adenoma. The rarity of ciliated metaplasia among Caucasians and its high frequency among the Japanese suggests a difference in the gastric mucosa in the two populations.
