Classification of erosions of the stomach and duodenum:
- Primary erosions.
- Secondary erosions (concomitant with the underlying disease).
- Erosion as a manifestation of a malignant or systemic process in the gastric mucosa (malignant erosion in cancer, lymphoma, Crohn's disease, etc.).
- Benign erosion:
- Erosions are acute (hemorrhagic).
- Erosions are chronic single and multiple.
- Chronic erosive (lymphocytic) gastritis.
- Erosion-hemorrhagic gastritis and duodenitis.
The acute include flat erosion, the epithelialization of which does not exceed 2-7 days; to chronic - erosion, not subjected to reverse development for 30 days or more.
