    <Abstract>A Japanese woman presented with gastric antral ulcers accompanied by erosion and edema, demonstrating a chronic pattern of improvement and recurrence for more than six years. The patient had no relevant treatment history, and Helicobacter pylori infection was ruled out. Other potential etiologies contributing to gastric ulcers were eliminated on the basis of endoscopic biopsy and blood laboratory findings. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with idiopathic gastric antral ulcer. This disease is often overlooked, and the chronological endoscopic images provided in this report can be used as a reference.</Abstract>
