Abstract
Littler reported on the torose polypoid lesion observed at the site of gastroenterostomy long after gastrectomy and called it gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP). Since then, much attention has been paid to hypertrophic lesions at the sites of gastroenterostomy, and many reports on GCP have been published. This lesion often develops in patients who had gastroenteroanastomosis. It was observed by the authors that a submucosal tumor developed at the cardiac part of the stomach in a patient who had no history of gastrectomy. Very few cases of GCP were observed in unoperated stomachs. The tumor was excised by endoscopic mucosal resection and diagnosed histopathologically as GCP. Endoscopic ultrasonography before the operation revealed the presence of a spongy body filled with anechoic areas of various sizes under the mucosa of the tumor. This finding is characteristic of this disorder and is detailed here with a discussion on related papers.
