Hi Kirby,

Just joined the network and googled your querie as I too am looking for the answer to that question. I know that your post is a couple of years old but if you are still available I would love to hear back from you. I was told that it is a small amount of IM that is probably surrounding scar tissue from a healed ulcer. My concern is probably the same as yours- can it become dysplastic etc.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Keltie
