Overview
There is no established system for the classification of peptic ulcer disease. Peptic ulcer disease may be classified into two categories based on the location: gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.Gastric ulcers are present mostly at lesser curvature of the stomach.Duodenal ulcers are mostly present at duodenal bulb.
Classification
Peptic ulcer disease may be classified according to location into two subtypes [1][2]
- Gastric ulcer
- Duodenal ulcer
Gastric ulcer is further classified into 3 subtypes depending upon their location by the Johnson[3]
- Type 1:Ulcer present at the body of stomach without involving duodenum ,pyrolus or prepyrolic region
- Type 2:Ulcer present at the body of stomach combined with and probably seconadary to an ulcer or its scar in th duodenum or at pyrolus
- Type 3:Ulcer close to pyrolus
