"Pseudotumor" of the stomach. Endoscopical and operative findings.
Persistent pathological changes at endoscopy are reported in three patients. At explorative laparotomy the changes were seen to be caused by neighbouring organs (splenic artery, pancreas and gallbladder). A correct diagnosis of "pseudotumor" of the stomach is necessary to avoid unwarranted surgery or unnecessary biopsies.
