Nodular gastritis (NG) is a form of chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) associated gastritis affecting the gastric antrum, which is characterized endoscopically by the presence of small nodular lesions resembling gooseflesh. It is generally accepted that NG is characterized histologically by hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles. At present, there is a wide range of H. pylori infections in the world, and NG is an endoscopic sign of H. pylori infection. After H. pylori eradication therapy, the clinical manifestations, pathology and endoscopic performance of NG patients can be improved significantly. Therefore, H. pylori eradication should be performed as early as possible in NG patients. The research data about NG is still very limited. The relationship between NG as potentially precancerous lesions and gastroduodenal diseases is still a debate and needs to be further explored. Here we review the research progress in understanding the correlation between NG and H. pylori.
