Gastritis Cystica Profunda: A Deeper Problem

A 46-year-old woman underwent upper endoscopy for persistent nausea. Endoscopic examination of the stomach revealed prominent gastric folds in the gastric body. Biopsy by cold forceps demonstrated hyperplastic mucosa with ulceration (Figure 1). Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) revealed a 45-mm sessile polyp with bleeding in the anterior wall of the gastric body (Figure 2). Endoscopic mucosal resecti...

A Case of Gastric Inverted Hyperplastic Polyp Found with Gastritis Cystica Profunda and Early Gastric Cancer

A gastric inverted hyperplastic polyp is a rare type of gastric polyp and is characterized by downward growth of a variety of mucosal components into the submucosa. The polyp consists of columnar cells resembling foveolar epithelium and pyloric gland epithelium and can coexist with gastritis cystica profunda. Frequently, adenocarcinoma can coexist, but the relation is not clear. A 77-year-old m...

Premalignant lesion of heterotopic pancreas combined with gastritis cystica profunda in gastric fundus.

Heterotopic pancreas, also known as ectopic pancreas, is found mainly in the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum. Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) is the non-invasive precursor of pancreatic cancer and gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is considered a precursor of gastric cancer. As with most putative cancer precursor lesions, the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions has been controver...

Ménétrier disease with antrum polyposis and gastritis cystica profunda.

A 46-year-old man was admitted with epigastric pain, weight loss, and hypoalbuminemia. He had no history of gastric surgery. A gastroscopy revealed giant polypoid gastric folds within the gastric body and fundus (●" Fig.1) and several polyps with central erosion in the gastric antrum (●" Fig.2). Biopsies of the gastric body and antral lesions revealed chronic gastritis. Endoscopic ultrasound sh...
