Ultrasonography of the stomach. The hypoechoic masses (arrowheads) protruding toward the lumen of the stomach are less echogenic than stomach contents (asterisk).

Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed a cluster of multiple, round, well-defined, hypoechoic foci of varying sizes (~0.7-1.8 cm) surrounded by gas within the lumen toward the fundus of the stomach (Figure 1).
Endoscopy of the fundic region of the stomach. Gross thickened areas (arrowheads) appear to be from the stomach wall and do not involve the gastric lumen.

Endoscopy revealed several areas of thickening (1 cm) noted in the area of the fundus (Figure 2).
Histopathology of fundic cup biopsies. Stomach with lymphoplasmacytic gastritis, 10x magnification, scale bar: 100 mum. Inset shows spiral bacteria (Helicobacter spp.) (arrowheads) in surface mucus of stomach, 60x magnification, scale bar: 15 mum.

Helicobacter-like organisms (HLO) on the epithelial surface (Figure 3). Histologic diagnosis was lymphocytic-plasmacytic gastritis with Helicobacter spp.
Ultrasonography of the stomach 27 days after starting antimicrobial therapy. Previously described fundic lesions appear to no longer be present in the stomach wall (arrowheads).

Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed that the previously described hypoechoic foci within the fundic lumen were no longer present, indicating that the gastric lesion was resolved (Figure 4).
