A study was done of 144 patients undergoing Billroth I partial gastrectomy for benign gastric ulcer. At a mean follow-up of 9.4 years, 95 patients were alive. Of 79 patients reviewed, 84% had an excellent or good result on clinical (Visick) grading. Five cases of proven recurrent ulceration were found; two of these patients required subsequent truncal vagotomy. There was one early death after operation, and 48 late deaths, including one from carcinoma of the gastric remnant (at two years), one from a reticulum cell sarcoma of the stomach (at three years), and one from reactivation of pulmonary tuberculosis. The operation was not attended by appreciable nutritional sequelae, although there was a tendency towards iron deficiency anemia.

Gastric accumulation of Ga-67 greater than that seen in the liver was observed in 16 of 162 (9.8%) patients with lymphoma. Endoscopic biopsies in six patients showed one instance each of histiocytic lymphoma, mixed cellularity Hodgkin's disease, adenocarcinoma, and hiatal hernia with mucosal deformity, as well as two instances of benign gastric ulcer. All six patients had chronic gastric symptoms, as well as persistent radiogallium accumulation on sequential examinations of 2 years duration. The remaining 10 patients exhibited transient radiotracer gastric uptake and only two has gastric symptoms. Persistent gastric Ga-67 accumulation is not common in lymphoma and warrants endoscopy when accompanied by prolonged symptoms.
