Pediatric Gastric Mucosal Calcinosis

Gastric mucosal calcinosis (GMC) is the deposition of calcium salts in gastric tissue. We report a case of GMC in a pediatric patient with a prior history of cholelithiasis and nephrolithiasis who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Laboratory evaluation did not show any abnormalities. Upper...

description Gastric mucosal calcinosis (GMC) is the deposition of calcium salts in gastric tissue. We report a case of GMC in a pediatric patient with a prior history of cholelithiasis and nephrolithiasis who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Laboratory evaluation did not show any abnormalities. Upper endoscopy revealed numerous gastric nodules; biopsies revealed calcium deposition in the superficial lamina propria. Recognizing GMC may aid with evaluation of a patient with vague gastrointestinal symptoms.
