Gastritis cystica profunda recurrence after surgical resection: 2-year follow-up

Abstract: BackgroundGastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is an uncommon disease characterized by multiple cystic gastric glands within the submucosa of the stomach.Case descriptionHere, we present a case of a 63-year-old man with intermittent epigastric discomfort in whom gastroscopy revealed multiple irregular elevated nodular lesions with smooth surfaces at the anterior of the antrum. Surgical resection of the nodular lesions was performed, and the diagnosis of gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) was confirmed by histologica… Show more

“…CGD occurs due to hyperplasia and cystic dilatation of submucosal glands extending into the submucosal layer ( 27 ). Although it is accepted as a benign lesion, there is still debate about its malignancy potential ( 28 31 ). This relation between CGD and malignancy indicates that a common factor causes both pathologies ( 32 ).…”

“…The rate of recurrence is not well studied for GPC. To date, two cases of recurrence have been reported after surgical resection (33,39). Meanwhile, a 10-year follow-up of a case of GCP in an unoperated patient revealed low-grade dysplasia, and the sizes of both the GCP and the adenoma overlying had increased during the follow-up period (45).…”

“…Much of the literature available is based on case reports; hence, recurrence and long-term follow-up have not been adequately evaluated. (1)(2)(3)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) Laratta et al reviewed all published case reports on GCP from 1972 to 2011. (3) They found 37 cases, with a male:female ratio of 3, 6:1, with a mean age of 60.5 years.…”
