-Pyloric metaplasia of the fundic mucosa
Type of Metaplastic change in Chronic Gastritis:
-refers to the progressive replacement of the gastric mucosa by epithelium having the light and electron microscopic features of intestinal epithelium of either small or large bowel type, including goblet cells, absorptive (brush border) cells, Paneth cells, and a variety of endocrine cells

Two types of Chronic Gastritis
- Type A or Immune
- Type B or Nonimmune
Type of Chronic Gastritis
-Less common
-Type A or Immune
Type of Chronic Gastritis
-usually affects the Fundus in a diffuse manner but spares the antrum
-Type A or Immune
Type of Chronic Gastritis
-Neuroendocrine hyperplasia
-Type A or Immune
Type A or Immune Chronic Gastritis is associated with (3):

Two subdivisions of Type B or Nonimmune Chronic Gastritis
- Hypersecretory gastritis
- Environmental gastritis
This subdivision of Type B or Nonimmune chronic gastritis is restricted to the antrum and associated with hyperchlorhydria and often duodenal peptic ulceration
