ABSTRACT
Lymphoid tissue is normally absent in the gastric mucosa; however, lymphoid follicles are very frequently noted in helicobacter associated gastritis. We reviewed 237 cases of chronic gastritis with lymphoid follicles. Out of this 227 cases [95.8%] were found to have H. pylori infection. The significance of this finding and its possible relationship to primary gastric lymphoma are discussed
