Case in brief

This report details five cases of Russell body gastritis (RBG), a rare chronic gastritis marked by plasma cell infiltration in the gastric mucosa. The cohort included three females and two males, with a median age of 55 years. Most lesions were found in the antrum, and one case was associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. All patients remained stable during follow-up, with no disease progression.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Russell body gastritis is characterized by the presence of Mott cells in the gastric mucosa, and its diagnosis relies on specific histological and immunohistochemical findings.
