    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Pyloric পেশী hypertrophy (PPMD) is a congenital anomaly.
    • It can lead to gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Symptoms may be delayed until late adulthood.

    Observation:

    • This case presented with gastric outlet obstruction after eight decades.
    • The lesion was congenital in origin.
    • Clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features were analyzed.

    Findings:

    • PPMD can manifest as a cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Late-onset symptoms are possible with this congenital anomaly.
    • Diagnosis requires awareness of this rare condition.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of PPMD is crucial when usual causes of gastric outlet obstruction are absent.
    • Simple excision of the obstructing membrane is a curative treatment.
    • This highlights the importance of considering congenital anomalies in adult-onset obstructive conditions.
