Core Tip
Core tip: Gastritis cystica profunda is a rare disease characterized by polypoid hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of the gastric glands extending into the submucosa of the stomach. It is typically only found in the stomach after gastric surgery, however, we encountered a rare case of gastritis cystica profunda in a 43-year-old Chinese woman who had never undergone gastric surgery. The elevated lesion in the anterior wall of the gastric antrum was discovered by endoscopic ultrasonography, and marked and irregular thickening of the gastric wall was observed with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
