Core Tip	Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a rare entity at young age. Although classically associated with pernicious anemia in adulthood, its presentation as iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) has been recently reported, particularly in younger patients. Our study aimed to further contribute to a better characterization of clinical and histological expression of AIG at pediatric age, highlighting IDA as a precocious hematological manifestation and the diagnostic contribution of a careful immunohistological evaluation. Furthermore, in the setting of personal and/or familial history of autoimmune disease, the importance of taking AIG into account and including parietal cell antibodies in the autoimmune screening panel is emphasized.
