Gastritis cystica profunda is rare, and it's natural course is still unknown. We report a 58-year-old man with gastraitis cystica profunda. We were able to follow up for four years. During the periods, its gross appearance and endoscopic ultrasonographic findings were changed in course of time. Initial endoscopic examination showed submucosal tumor. In addition to it, it revealed as solid tumor by ultrasonographic endoscopy. Three years later, cystic area appeared the tumor ultrasonographically. Partial gastric resection was performed because of severe gastrointestinal bleeding.
