Fig. 1.

Initial abdomen CT (A, transverse view; B, coronal view). (A) The pancreas is slightly edematous without definite evidence of inflammations. (A, B) The stomach wall is thickened and 2 cm sized hypodense lesions are noted in the antrum (arrows).

Fig. 2.

Endoscopic findings of upper gastrointestinal tract. (A) The wall of distal antrum is swollen with little erosive mucosal changes. (B) About 0.5 mm sized mucosal ulcer is noted in the pylorus.

Fig. 3.

Endoscopic ultrasound findings.(A) On radial echoendoscopic view, entire wall of the stomach is swollen and little hypoechoic lesion (arrows) are noted. (B) On linear echoendo-scpic view, some inhomogenous-echo lesions (open arrows) with definite hypoechoic cystic lesions (closed arrows) are noted.

Fig. 4.

Follow-up stomach CT performed 8 months later (A, transverse view; B, coronal view). There are some ectopic tissues (open arrows) with 1.1 cm sized intraparenchymal pseudocyst (closed arrows) in the antrum wall.
