title: [Granulomatous gastritis. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: We report two cases of granulomatous gastritis, one unexplained, one in the setting of Crohn's disease. Granulomatous gastritis is an uncommon entity. An etiopathogenetic diagnosis can be reached only by combining the morphological examination with clinical and laboratory investigations. Isolated granulomatous gastritis is a diagnosis of exclusion, distinct from Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, infections, foreign bodies, malignancy or vasculitis.
