I'll start by breaking down the medical terms. "Gastric" refers to the stomach. "Mucosal" refers to the inside lining, where the acid-secreting glands are. "Erythema" means redness, usually caused by too much blood in an area.
Putting this back together, the report indicates an excess of blood in the lining of the stomach. The use of "abnormality" means the cause of the blood hasn't been determined, which may be good or bad. Typically cancer and infection are pretty easy to identify, unless it is an unusual type or particularly aggressive.
Unless your doctor is worried about this, I wouldn't be too concerned. You may have simply had some stress that caused the stomach lining to be extra red.
It is called Gastritis - inflammation of the gastric mucosa
The mucosa is the lining of the stomach, and the antrum is part of the stomach. Erythema is redness, and an ulceration is an area in which a layer of skin or lining is missing. So "muscosal inflammation in the antrum with erythema and ulcerations" is stomach ulcers.
What is the answer?
What does erythema in the antrum compatible with gastritis (biopsy) mean? It means that the biopsy is consistent with the findings of erythematous mucosa in the antrum of the stomach... Simply put... the red area "erythema" shows gastritis or stomach inflammation.
Granularity, friability, and erythema in the antrum are all endoscopic findings. If these are found a patient is usually diagnosed with Gastroduodenal Crohn's disease
What does Erythema in the antrum compatible with non-erosive gastritis biopsy mean???
An antrum is a cavity or chamber, such as the antrum of the lower part of the stomach. Erosion means that the lining is thinning, resulting in inflammation and irritation. Erythema describes a reddening of tissue due to irritation or injury.
Edema and erytherma in the antrum is a condition where the area is swollen and possibly congested. This condition is consistent with acute gastritis.
Probs not IBD but more peptic ulceration
An antrum is a bodily cavity, especially one which has bony walls, including those in the sinuses.
Antrectomy is the medical term meaning surgical removal of the antrum. The antrum is the last part of the stomach. The procedure we think of as gastric bypass is an antrectomy with reconstruction.

Maxillary antrum is also known as maxillary sinus and is the biggest of the paranasal sinuses. Mucosal thickening within the maxillary antrum is one of the signs of sinusitis.
