Precursor to squamous cell carcinoma
Acute gastric ulcer associated with CNS injury
Cushing ulcer ( increased intracranial pressure stimulates vagal gastric H+ secretion)
Acute gastric ulcer associated with severe burns
Curling ulcer (greatly reduced plasma volume results in sloughing of gastric mucosa)
