Abstract

Gastritis Cystica Profunda is a rare condition showing multiple small cysts in the mucosa and submucosa of the stomach. These lesions have been found not only at the site of a gastroenterostomy but also in tbe stomchs of patients without any previous surgery. Recently, We witnessed a 56-year old e wale gastritis cystica profunda who had not undergone previous gastric surgery. The UGI and EGD revealed a 3.0 * 4.5 cm sized submucosal mass on the posterior wall of the antrum, and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) discovered a thickening of the third layer in which well-defined, round and nearly anechoic areas with posterior enhancement were gathered. They were thought to be cystic lesions. We report a case of gastritis cystica profunda without having had any previous surgery, the diagnosis was made based on findings from the EUS and histologic findings through surgery.
