A rare precursor of gastric tumor

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare tumor precursor which occurs more commonly in patients who have undergone previous gastric surgery. The non-specific symptoms and radiographic appearance of this tumor mimic those of other hyperproliferative conditions, making diagnosis difficult. This is a...

description Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare tumor precursor which occurs more commonly in patients who have undergone previous gastric surgery. The non-specific symptoms and radiographic appearance of this tumor mimic those of other hyperproliferative conditions, making diagnosis difficult. This is a pre-malignant condition and may lead on to carcinoma of the stomach. Here we report a 57-year-old female with no previous gastric surgeries, who presented to us with epigastric abdominal pain. Her work-up included an upper endoscopy, which revealed fundic polyps. Her fundal biopsies were consistent with GCP.
