The author commented that 50-75% of gastrocolic fistulas are related to benign gastric ulcers secondary to the use of NSAIDs. The use of aspirin plus prednisone, as in this patient, increases the risk of complication of peptic ulcer disease two- to fourfold.

Most peptic ulcers occur in the presence of acid and pepsin when HP, NSAIDs, or other factors (see Table 33-2) disrupt normal mucosal defense and healing mechanisms. Hypersecretion of acid is the primary pathogenic mechanism in hypersecretory states such as ZES. Ulcer location is related to a number of etiologic factors. Benign gastric ulcers can occur anywhere in the stomach, although most are located on the lesser curvature, just distal to the junction of the antral and acid-secreting mucosa (see Fig. 33-1). Most duodenal ulcers occur in the first part of the duodenum (duodenal bulb). 

Nizatidine, a histamine-receptor antagonist (300 mg once daily at bedtime), is indicated in the management of duodenal ulcer, benign gastric ulcer, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (see also Table 10). 

Lymph node metastases are characterized hy the round-shaped swelling of lymph nodes (Fig. 16.10h). One must be careful in the differentiation from inflammatory swelling of lymph nodes caused by a benign gastric ulcer, which is more elliptical in shape than that of metastatic lymph nodes.
