Abstract:
Gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP) is a lesion characterized by all the histological features described for hyperplastic polyps, And there is s marked proliferation of muscular elements and entrapment of numerous epithelial cysts. These lesions have been described at gastroenterostomy stomas, at peptic ulcer edges, and in association with carcinoma. It is rare that GCP presenting as a submucosal tumar-like lesion develops in the absence of above mentioned associated conditions. We had experienced a 69 year-old man with GCP. Barium X-ray and endoacopic findings showed submucosal tumor in antrum, and endoscopic ultrasonograpic findings showed markedly thickened mucosal layer with scattered hypoechoeic areas and the submucosal layer well preserved. GCP was confirmed by histological examination of resected stomach.
