“…However, only a few reports have described the EUS features of a gastric wall abscess (Table 1). 5, 7–14 A gastric wall abscess has a sonographic appearance that is inhomogeneous with a predominant hypoechoic lesion located mainly in the muscularis propria or the submucosa layer. EUS findings of a diffuse gastric wall abscess are demonstrated by thethickening of the gastric wall, mainly in the submucosa, with a blurred interface between the submucosa and muscularis propria 9, 10.…”

We report a case of a gastric wall abscess in a 50-year-old man who presented with epigastralgia and fever. Gastroscopy revealed a subepithelial lesion on the posterior wall of the gastric body into the antrum. A follow-up abdominal CT scan showed cystic lesions around the stomach. Endoscopic sonography helped to diagnose a gastric wall abscess. The gastric wall abscess was treated endoscopically with a needle knife incision for internal drainage. The patient was treated with antibiotics for 1 week and was discharged without complication. A follow-up endoscopy with endoscopic sonography 1 month later revealed complete resolution of the lesion.

A gastric wall abscess is rare and it can reportedly appear similar to a submucosal tumor on endoscopy. Few reports have described endoscopic ultrasonographic findings for a gastric wall abscess. An 84-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for tarry stools. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed an elevated lesion similar to a submucosal tumor at the posterior wall of the stomach. Erosion and a white coat were observed on top of the lesion. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed an anechoic lesion connected to the proper muscular layer with a hyperechoic area in the center of the lesion. The lesion was diagnosed as a gastric wall abscess using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and was treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage. The final diagnosis was a gastric wall abscess presenting as gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The patient was discharged with internal drainage stents. Computed tomography performed 3 months after discharge did not show recurrence of the abscess.
