Abstract
Gastritis cystica polyposa (GCP) is an uncommon lesion that usually occurs at the gastroenterostomy site, although occasionally it can be found in an unoperated stomach. We present a rare case of GCP which presented as a large polypoid mass in the gastric fundus and contained cystic components demonstrable on preoperative computed tomography.
