    AbstractA patient presented with penetration by a giant gastric ulcer resulting from treatment with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. A test for Helicobacter pylori proved negative. Treatment with a combination of an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion and prostaglandin substitution therapy with misoprostol resulted in closure of the perforation and cicatrization of the gastric ulcer without the need for laparotomy.
