[Tumor-like formations in the stomach wall]

Six cases of pseudotumorous lesions simulating gastric cancer are described. Pathological changes in the gastric wall were characterized by diffuse mainly lymphoid infiltration, associated with sclerosis and ulcers. These lesions are regarded as pseudo-sarcomatous lymphomatosis of the stomach. It is the authors' opinion that these are a benign nonsystemic reactive process in response to the previously suffered inflammation.
