title: Case of gastric intestinal metaplasia in an old patient with previous gastric surgery.
abstract: An 87-year-old woman with multiple medical disorders presented with dyspeptic symptoms of long duration. She has a history of peptic ulcer disease for which she has partial gastrectomy (Billroth I) in the past. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) was performed which revealed erythematous mucosa in the lower part of the gastric remnant with areas of whitish mucosal patches in the distal stomach close to the gastroduodenal anastomosis. Biopsies were taken from the whitish mucosal patches and sent for histopathological examination. The result of the biopsy confirmed the presence of marked intestinal metaplasia. This case report summarises the presentation, diagnoses and treatment of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM).
