Phlegmonous gastritis is a rare and rapidly progressive bacterial infection of the stomach wall, with a high mortality rate. Antibiotics with or without surgical treatment are required for treatment. We present a case in which phlegmonous gastritis occurred during the diagnostic evaluation of early gastric cancer. The patient showed improvement after antibiotic treatment, but attempted endoscopic submucosal dissection failed because of submucosal pus. We immediately applied argon plasma coagulation since surgical resection was also considered a high-risk procedure because of the submucosal pus and multiple comorbidities. However, there was local recurrence two years later, and the patient underwent subtotal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection. Considering the risk of incomplete treatment immediately after recovery from phlegmonous gastritis and that recurrent disease can be more difficult to manage, delaying treatment and evaluation until after complete recovery of PG might be a better option in this particular clinical situation.

“…Acute phlegmonous gastritis (APG) is a rare and rapidly progressive endogenous bacterial infection with high mortality ( 1 ). The most frequent causative bacteria of APG are hemolytic streptococci, particularly group A streptococci (GAS) ( 2 , 3 ). GAS is a group of important human pathogens that causes a wide range of infections from local skin infections to life-threatening severe systemic diseases, including streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis.…”

“…Phlegmonous gastritis (PG) is an uncommon disease characterized by a severe bacterial infection of the gastric wall. [ 4 ] PG is linked to a high mortality rate because early diagnosis remains difficult. [ 5 – 9 ] In most previous reports, gastric mucosal injury due to gastric cancer or disorder is regarded as the main etiology of PG.…”

Introduction: Complications such as severe infection may occur during the chemotherapy of malignant lymphoma. Phlegmonous gastritis (PG) is a rare acute bacterial infection associated with high mortality, requiring early diagnosis, and prompt management. In addition, Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) occasionally requires early treatment and intensive care management due to the occurrence of severe neuropathy and respiratory failure. Patient concerns: A 70-year-old male was diagnosed with primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after the detection of several polypoid tumors with ulcers. The patient underwent chemotherapy for DLBCL and exhibited adverse effects (i.e., fever, vomiting, epigastric pain, and neutropenia). Computed tomography indicated widespread thickening in the gastric wall. Furthermore, approximately 2 weeks later, the patient presented with gradual symmetric lower extremity weakness and respiratory failure due to paralysis of the respiratory muscle. Diagnoses: DLBCL was diagnosed through a gastric tumor biopsy. On the basis of the computed tomography findings, a culture of gastric juice, nerve conduction studies, and clinical symptoms, this case of gastric lymphoma was complicated with PG and GBS. Interventions: The patient was treated with antimicrobial therapy and administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for PG, and with intravenous immunoglobulin and intensive care management for GBS. Outcomes: Despite the aggressive progress of the condition, the patient improved without relapse of DLBCL. Conclusion: PG was regarded as a precedent infection of GBS. In this article, we present the first reported case of gastric lymphoma complicated with PG and GBS.
