Abstract:
Three cases are presented in which a focal concave deformity occurred along the greater curvature of the stomach on upper gastrointestinal (GI) series. These patients all had recent removal of a surgically placed gastrostomy tube from a similar location. This deformity appears to be related, at least in part, to invaginated gastric mucosa intentionally produced during surgical gastrostomy tube placement. This association and appearance should be noted as it may mimic other lesions.
