Inflammation of the external surface or outer layer of the stomach.
From 'exo-' (outside) + 'gastritis' (Greek 'gaster' stomach + '-itis' inflammation). The term describes inflammation affecting the stomach's external surface rather than the inner lining.
Exogastritis is rare compared to regular gastritis because the stomach's outer covering is protected by other abdominal tissues, making it harder for infection to reach!
