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
