A submucosal pancreatic cyst in the stomach wall, grown in the posterior wall of the central part of the antrum, was observed in a 22 years old male.
X-ray examination of the stomach demonstrated a semicircula r shadow defect in the antrum. Corresponding to that, a tumor was found endoscopically, which was considered to a submucosal one, although neither typical bridging folds nor central depression were shown. Beside, two ulcers were found at the gastric angle.
Resected stomach disclosed that the tumor, mea suring 40 X 37 X 15mm, was a submucosal cyst, which was later diagnosed histologically as an aberrant pancreatic tissue dilated like a cyst.
