Gastric wall abscess mimicking a subepithelial lesion

CWChengjun WangLZLingyu Zhu

Key Points

  • To identify a gastric wall abscess presenting as a subepithelial lesion in a patient without risk factors.
  • Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography to visualize the lesion.
  • Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for direct observation of the lesion.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography to assess the characteristics of the lesion.
  • Imaging revealed a low-density mass-like lesion in the gastric antrum.
  • Endoscopy showed a protruding lesion with a surface opening.
  • Ultrasonography confirmed the lesion's extension into the submucosal layer.

Abstract

Image of the MonthGastric wall abscess mimicking a subepithelial lesion A 55-year-old man without recognized risk factors was admitted with a 1-month history of abdominal pain and vomiting.Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography showed a low-density mass-like lesion with peripheral enhancement in the gastric antrum, extending into the submucosal layer ( Fig. 1 A).Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a protruding subepitheliallike lesion on the greater curvature of the antrum with a small surface opening ( Fig. 1 B).Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a
