Callous and penetrating ulcer: similarities and differences

A peptic ulcer with dense margins is formed on the wall of the stomach, due to the scarring process. Often even after the appearance of scars, the ulcer continues to progress. Penetrating or penetrating type of the disease occurs with possible bleeding, while spreading to adjacent organs.
