Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Endoscopic findings of the lesion. (A) A 4 cm sized polypoid mass was noted in the greater curvature of the midbody. (B) Distict ulceration and hyperemia were noted on the surface of the lesion.

• 

  Fig. 2 Endoscopic ultrasound findings. (A) Hypoechoic and polypoid lesion (2.4×1.6 cm) was origninated from the junction between submucosa and proper muscle. (B) The mass showed low and homogeneous internal echogeneicity.

• 

  Fig. 3 Computed tomography findings. 2.3 cm sized low attenuating, well-difined mass lesion was seen in the lower body of stomach.

• 

  Fig. 4 Endoscopic resection (ESD) of the lesion. (A) 2.5 cm sized polypoid lesion, which was covered with normal gastric mucosa was seen at the greater curvature of body. (B) ESD was done by IT-knife. (C, D) Resected mass was well capsulated and easily detached from the base.

• 

  Fig. 5 Microscopic findings (H&E). (A, B) There was a dilated cyst lined by cell layer of the submucosa (×1.25). (C) A normal-appearing lamina propria surrounded the focal area of the cyst (×40). (D) The lining epithelium consisted of foveolar and mucin secreting cells (×100).
