Abstract
Key Clinical MessageGastric diverticula are rare and may sometimes cause diagnostic confusion. Most cases are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. However, sometimes they can cause a variety of clinical manifestations and may be complicated by bleeding, perforation, or malignancy. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of this unusual finding and the available management options.

Gastric diverticula are very rare with a reported prevalence of 0.01%‐0.11% at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and 0.03%‐0.3% at autopsy studies.[1]
The majority (75%) of true gastric diverticula are located in the fundus, while in extremely rare cases they have been reported in the antrum.[2]
