In contrast to the case for most other animal species and for humans, pigs do not usually develop stomach ulcers in the pyloric antrum but rather develop them in the pars esophagea. These lesions are characterized by hyperkeratosis, which typically presents as a bile-stained thickening of the mucosa (small arrows). This can evolve to clefts, erosions, and ulcerations (large arrow).
