The value of endoscopy in the diagnosis of gastric ulcer.

Based on a personal experience of 300 cases, the authors are revising the diagnosis of gastric ulcer, comparing the data obtained by X-ray, endoscopic, histologic and bioptic investigations. In about two per cent of the cases, the endoscopic diagnosis of benign ulcer was infirmed by examination of the histologic fragments.
