Pseudotumoral gastric varices

Abstract

The roentgenographic recognition of gastric varices often is difficult, even when there is a history of liverdisease or splenomegaly without demonstrable esophageal varices. An apparant polypoid filling defect withexaggerated mucosal folds in proximal portion of the gastric body and fundus on upper GI series, accompained byhematemesis and splenomegaly should suggest the presence of pseudotumor gastric varices. We havean experience acase of polypoid filling defects in gastric fundus of pseudotumoral gastric varices of 49 years old Korean woman,which was diagnosed by surgical and histopathological finding.
