Progress in Gastroenterological Radiology

Adenomyoma of the stomach.

“…Much rarer lesions producing pyloric narrowing include eosinophilic gastroenteritis, which is associated with changes in the small intestine and responds to steroids (Wolf and Khilnani, 1966). Gastric sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, eosinophil granuloma, and tertiary syphilis may present with pyloric narrowing, usually in association with systemic manifestations of the disease, which assist in the diagnosis.…”

Adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis

“…A high gastric ulcer or prolonged pylorospasm may lead to hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle (Coleman, 1932;Craver, 1957;Keet, 1958). Much rarer lesions producing pyloric narrowing include eosinophilic gastroenteritis which is associated with changes in the small intestine (Wolf & Khilnani, 1966). Our case did not show any of these lesions and it is possible, therefore, to regard the pyloric hypertrophy as a result of persistence of the infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.…”
