Özet: Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is an uncommon, benign lesion which looking a cancer-like lesion. This lesion is localized in gastric mucosa and characterized by polypoid hyperplasia or ulcerated mucosal lesion and cystic dilatation of the mucosal glands spreading into the submucosa of the stomach. Exact etiology and pathogenesis of GCP is still incompletely explained. In this case report we present a case of 70-year-old female with proton pump inhibitor resistant upper gastrointestinal symptoms who was diagnosed as GCP after upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy examination. This rare benign entity should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of gastric mural mass lesions.
