چکیده
Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare hyperplastic lesion of unclear etiology. Clinical symptoms of GCP are variable and range from nonspeci ic abdominal pain to gastric outlet obstruction. Often the diagnosis of GCP has been dif icult to make as simple esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) guided biopsy can fail to yield the diagnosis. Here, we report a case of GCP that presented in a challenging anatomic location, which required a laparoscopic intragastric surgical technique to make the diagnosis.
