Superficial ulcers and erosions around the GAW and erosive gastritis in the pyloric antrum were detected.
Majority of cases of CA pyloric antrum was noted in the age group of 51-60 yrs.
All were non-alcoholic patients with a history of GI tract diseases and/or GI surgeries (1 gastric malignancy, 1 gastritis and pyloric stenosis, 1 mesenteric ischemia followed by hemicolectomy and small bowel resection, 1 fulminant colitis followed by colectomy and 2 bariatric surgery) (Table 1).

The pathogenesis of delayed gastric emptying is associated with fundus abnormalities, antrum and antroduodenal discoordination, pyloric dysfunction, and abnormal small bowel motility [3].
