A 72 year-old man was admitted to our hospital for further examination of anemia. Gastric endoscopy revealed an early gastric cancer, a hyperplastic polyp, and two polypoid lesions. The two polypoid lesions had little mucosal changes on their surface, and a dell on each tops. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed echo-free areas of various sizes in the submucosal layer, therefore gastric cysts were suspected. For histological examination and therapy, strip-biopsy of the lesions were done. Histological examination of the resected lesions showed mainly tubular type growth of the foveolar cells and partly cystic apperance by dilatation of some tubi. Gastric hamartomas were diagnosed.
