title: Role of endoscopic sonography in the diagnosis of a fish bone perforation of the gastric wall resulting in a submucosal pseudotumor.
abstract: We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with a fish bone-induced granulation tissue in the gastric wall that was initially diagnosed as a submucosal tumor by panendoscopy. High-frequency endoscopic ultrasonography identified the linear calcified fish bone embedded in a heterogeneous mass.
