Background and Objective: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma somewhere outside the uterus. The most common site of involvement is the small intestine and colon, and gastric wall involvement is rare. In this study, a case of gastric endometriosis with submucosal mass is reported.
Case Report: The patient is a 44-year-old woman who referred with abdominal and back pain for 2 months. Pain was not associated with menstruation and no tenderness was seen on abdominal examination. On CT scan, a 3×3 cm mass was reported and surgery was performed. During surgery, pelvic adhesion was seen and there was complete adhesion of the stomach, intestines, and ovaries to each other. In the frozen sample, endometriosis was reported. Due to the extensive involvement, the patient underwent medical treatment.
