ABSTRACT
When a submucosal lesion is discovered at the gastric fundus by gastroscopy, it may be difficult to distinguish a gastric external compression from a true submucosal tumor (SMT). The stomach is a hollow organ centrally placed in the upper abdomen, and it is possible to have a protruding external compression at the fundus, particularly from an enlarged spleen or splenic artery. An accessory spleen or splenosis is not a very unusual finding but may rarely produce such external compression at the gastric fundus. We experienced a case of an accessory spleen mimicking a gastric SMT diagnosed through a gastroscopy after a splenectomy.
