Abstract:
Gastritis polyposus et cystica is usually an exophytic growth developing at the gastroenterostomy site. This is a case-report of a patient without any antecedent surgery or obvious lesion though the computed tomographic scan showed an interacting 'gyral' form of enhancement which has not been reported. This X-ray image correlated with the hypertrophic mucosa fold and cystic changes and may help towards pre-operative diagnosis, thereby avoiding unnecessary surgery.
