Abstract:
Gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP) is a rare lesion characterized by hyperplastic and cystic dilatation of the gastric mucous glands infiltrating into the underlying submucosa. A cumulative experience suggests that GCP represents a manifestation of a spectrum of reactive inflammatory responses to mucosal injury. The case reported herein is a GCP developed as multiple polypoid lesions with a circular arrangement in the gastric mucosae along the gastrojejunostomy site.
