Abstract
- Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is an uncommon condition showing multiple cystic gastric glands within the submucosa of the stomach. These lesions usually have been found at the site of gastroenterostomy but may occur in the stomach without a previous history of surgery. Macroscopically, GCP may present as submucosal tumor (SMT), solitary or diffuse polyps and giant gastric mucosal fold. We report a case of gastric adenocarcinoma and GCP diagnosed after being followed up as submucosal tumor for 10 years. The SMT was detected 10 years ago endoscopically and has been followed up by upper gastrointestinal study. In the latest study, there was a newly developed ulceration on the top of the SMT, but no change in the size of the SMT. The lesion was mainly located in the high body, greater curvature side of the previously unoperated stomach.
