From our endoscopic follow-up studies in 65 patients we are inclined to think that the various forms of erosive changes of the gastric mucosa represent different developmental stages of the same pathological process, in which the final stage may possibly be a hyperplasia of mucosal folds with gastro-intestinal loss of protein. A change into a genuine polyposis or even the development of a polypous carcinoma, as suggested by the information of Nakamura, was not observed by us, but the observation time so far has probably been too short for this anyway.
