چکیده
Introduction: Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare tumor which occurs more commonly in patients with prior gastric surgery.

This report provides a comprehensive review of GCP and all GCP cases reported to date. Methods: A comprehensive literature search (1972-2011) was conducted with all reported GCP cases analyzed.
