So far, less than 30 cases of sarcina isolated from the stomach have been reported. Herein, we describe a case of a 66-year-old male with a history of persistent epigastric pain and regurgitation. The upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy revealed gastric erythema, edema, ulceration, and food bezoar. A gastric biopsy was done to rule out lymphoma. On histopathological examination, sarcina Ventriculi was identified. This organism is likely to get underreported as it may not be that obvious on routinely stained biopsies. Given its association with life-threatening illness such as emphysematous gastritis and perforation, awareness of this organism is important. It's presence in gastric biopsies must be mentioned in the report and should prompt the clinicians to investigate further for functional causes of delayed gastric emptying and gastric outlet obstruction like occult malignancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_1007_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,31]],"date-time":"2023-01-31T01:16:19Z","timestamp":1675127779000},"page":"165-167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sarcina ventriculi associated gastritis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Nisha","family":"Attri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajeev","family":"Pareek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murari","family":"Dhanetwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fayyaz M.","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shitalben","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"82","DOI":"10.1128\/br.34.1.82-97.1970","article-title":"Biology of the sugar-fermenting Sarcinae","volume":"1","author":"Canale-Parola","year":"1970","journal-title":"Bacteriol Rev"},{"key":"R2-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2282","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v19.i14.2282","article-title":"Sarcina ventriculi of the stomach: A case report","volume":"14","author":"Ratuapli","year":"2013","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"R3-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"535","DOI":"10.1309\/CDFF04HE9FHDQPAN","article-title":"A case report of gastric perforation and peritonitis associated with opportunistic infection by Sarcina ventriculi","volume":"7","author":"Tolentino","year":"2003","journal-title":"Lab Med"},{"key":"R4-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1441","DOI":"10.5858\/arpa.2016-0028-RS","article-title":"Sarcina ventriculi: Review of the literature","volume":"140","author":"Al Rasheed","year":"2016","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"R5-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1700","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0b013e31822911e6","article-title":"Sarcina organisms in the gastrointestinal tract: A clinicopathologic and molecular study","volume":"35","author":"Lam-Himlin","year":"2011","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"R6-32-20240829","first-page":"125","article-title":"History of a case in which a fluid periodically ejected from the stomach contained vegetable organisms of an undescribed form","volume":"11","author":"Goodsir","year":"1843","journal-title":"J Nat Hist"},{"key":"R7-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1468","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1996.209.08.1468","article-title":"Abomasal bloat associated with Sarcina like bacteria in goat kids","volume":"8","author":"DeBey","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"R8-32-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.578.98","article-title":"The constant occurrence of Sarcina ventriculi (Goodsir) in the blood of man and the lower animals: With remarks on the nature of sarcinous vomiting","volume":"1","author":"Ferrier","year":"1872","journal-title":"Br Med J"},{"key":"R9-32-20240829","first-page":"103","article-title":"Coexistence of Sarcina organisms and Helicobacter pylori gastritis\/duodenitis in 14 pediatric siblings","volume":"1","author":"Sauter","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Clin Anat Pathol (JCAP"},{"key":"R10-32-20240829","first-page":"1101","article-title":"Emphysematous gastritis caused by Sarcina ventriculi","volume":"5","author":"Laass","year":"1972","journal-title":"Gastrointest Endosc"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_1007_21","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T16:01:45Z","timestamp":1787760105000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_1007_21"}},"subtitle":["Mimicking lymphoma on endoscopy"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_1007_21","relation":{},"ISSN":["0377-4929"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0377-4929","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1]]}}}
