Abstract
The presented article discusses the risk factors for occurrence of large and giant gastric ulcers (in particular, the use of immunosupressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, infectious etiology), the need for differential diagnosis between benign ulcers and infiltrative ulcerative form of gastric cancer, as well as its other tumor lesions), the features of the course of such ulcers (tendency to bleeding, perforation, penetration).
