Abstract
- Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a disease characterized by gastric foveolae elongation along with hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of the gastric glands extending into the tisssue beneath the submucosa. It mainly occurs on the site of gastroenterostomy, but can occasionally be found in an unoperated stomach. GCP may present as a submucosal tumor or polyp, and rarely a giant gastric mucosal fold. This lesion has traditonally been regarded as a benign lesion. However, there are many debates over its malignant potential. Further investigations on the relation between GCP and gastric carcinoma may be necessary. To our knowledge, this is the second description of adenocarcinoma arising from GCP in an unoperated stomach.
