Figure 1 Gastroscopy. An elevated nodular lesion (arrows) with smooth surfaces was observed in the anterior portion of the gastric antrum.

Figure 2 Endoscopic ultrasonography. An anechoic mass with an irregularly thickened wall was observed in the submucosal lining of the stomach.

Figure 3 Radiology. A: Computed tomography; B: Magnetic resonance imaging of the patient in a prone position showed that the gastric wall of the stomach at the greater curvature of the antrum was markedly and irregularly thickened, with mild to moderate enhancement (arrow).

Figure 4 Histology. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of nodular lesion specimens showed dilated cystic glands (arrows) in the A: Muscularis mucosa (× 50 magnification); B: Submucosal layers (× 400 magnification).
