An ulcer is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by necrosis of cells and sloughing shedding of inflammatory necrotic tissue Fig. 2 13 . Ulceration can occur only when tissue necrosis and resultant inflammation exist on or near a surface. It is most commonly encountered in 1 inflammatory necrosis of the mucosa of the mouth, stomach, intestines, or genitourinary tract and 2 tissue necrosis and subcutaneous inflammation of the lower extremities in older persons who have circulatory disturbances that predispose to extensive necrosis. Ulcerations are best exemplified by peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum, in which acute and chronic inflammation coexist. During the acute stage there is intense polymorphonuclear infiltration and vascular dilation in the margins of the defect.

String sign , or gastrointestinal string sign, is a medical term for a radiographic finding on an Upper GI series , in which the patient is given a radio opaque material, such as barium, to drink. X ray s are then taken of the patient s stomach and intestines. The gastrointestinal string sign represents a severe narrowing of loop of bowel, in which a thin stripe of contrast within the lumen looks like a string. It may be seen in Crohn s Disease , Pyloric stenosis Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis HPS , Carcinoid and Colon Cancer . In people with Crohn s Disease, the string sign is caused by incomplete filling of the intestinal lumen, which results from irritability and spasm associated with severe ulceration. In such cases, the string sign is most frequently seen at the terminal ileum. In infants with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis HPS , the pylorus is narrowed and the radio opaque material will take on the appearance of a thin string as it passes through this narrowed channel. Often, there are several of these strings seen called the railroad track sign . The use of the Upper GI series for the diagnosis of HPS, which was the primary diagnostic tool for this condition in the 1980s and 1990s, has been largely replaced by the use of ultrasound , which is less invasive and can visualize the thickened pylorus, giving actual measurements of this thickening.
