Core Tip
Core Tip: The article reported one case of gastric adenomyoma in an infant who was primarily diagnosed with pyloric hypertrophy. We reviewed reported cases and found that gastric adenomyoma was frequently misdiagnosed as other diseases like duplication cyst. Presence of heterogeneous echo in ultrasound and cystic appearance in computed tomography were helpful for differentiating preoperatively. These findings could provide valuable reference for surgeons to improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy.
