  abstract = {Gastritis cystica profunda is described as gastric glands covered with normal gastric mucosa that locate submucosally and form cystic expansion. Its etiology is not clear, but the most important cause is prior gastric surgery. There is no agreed treatment because of its rarity. A 44-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting. We found a 2-cm mass in the wall of the stomach as a result of investigations. The patient was operated on with a preliminary diagnosis of gastric cancer. Surgeon performed excision of the total mass only. Pathological examination of the mass revealed that it was gastritis cystica profunda. Gastritis cystica profunda is a rare lesion of the stomach, and can be confused with other gastric pathologies. Preoperative diagnosis is important because it can prevent unnecessary resections. Gastritis cystica profunda should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of gastric submucosal masses.},
