Abstract
A 72-year-old female used the oral phosphate binder lanthanum carbonate
for 6 years, before discontinuing it after receiving a pancreas and
kidney transplant. Now, 7 years after discontinuation, the patient
developed bilious emesis. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed an
unspecific gastritis. Biopsies showed subepithelial crystalline deposits
consistent with gastric lanthanosis.19 Jun 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 22 Jun 2021Submission Checks Completed
