| Abstract |

|
We experienced a case of an 18-year-old woman who ingested salt-fermented
northern sand lance and developed corrosive gastritis. The patient underwent a
esophagogastroscopy and had developed a deep ulceration in the antrum. This
cases shows that salt-fermented northern sand lance, which is very acidic and
includes various biogenic amines, has the possibility of inducing a corrosive injury
to the stomach. |
