J Clin Gastroenterol. 1998 Mar;26(2):141-3. doi: 10.1097/00004836-199803000-00011.

Abstract

We report a Helicobacter pylori-related antral gastric ulcer that continued to cause symptoms despite H. pylori eradication. The patient had progressive gastric outlet obstruction, raising the possibility of a malignancy. On exploratory laparotomy, he was found to have a large inflammatory mass surrounding a contained microperforation.
