Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare and typically asymptomatic condition, with no distinct clinical manifestations, making it prone to being missed or misdiagnosed in clinical practice. In this report, we present two cases of GCP diagnosed and treated at our hospital. The report aims to enhance the understanding of GCP occurrence and provide guidance for timely and accurate diagnosis.
