[Pseudotumor of the stomach: study of 10 cases and review of the literature].
Pseudotumoral form of gastric ulcer is an infrequent clinical presentation of peptic disease. We present the findings in ten patients with this variety of gastric peptic ulcer treated in the last five years. All records including preoperative radiological and endoscopic examinations are reviewed. Five patients were women and five were men. The median age of patients was 62.1 years (range, 45 to 79 years). Epigastric pain was the main symptom in 90% of patients and weight loss in 70%. Six patients underwent surgical treatment. There was no perioperative mortality. A review of literature of this condition and a discussion about the differential diagnosis are presented.
