- Antral predominant
- Corpus predominant
- Pangastritis (inflammation of the entire stomach wall)
Chronic Gastritis
- There are two types of chronic gastritis:
- Chronic superficial gastritis
- Chronic atrophic gastritis
Morphological Features of Chronic Gastritis
- Mucosa:
- Slight flattening of gastric rugae in chronic superficial gastritis
- More thinned and flattened, and red in chronic atrophic gastritis
