Summary

An unusual gastric lesion comprising multiple bridges in a 62-year old woman is presented. Radiographic and endoscopic examination revealed several mucosal bridges and mucosal tags. The resected stomach showed eight mucosal bridges and five mucosal tags along the course of the mucosal folds in the fundic gland area, the former measuring 3 cm in diameter. This paper concludes with a short discussion of the etiology of these proliferative gastric lesions from a clinicopathological standpoint.

Key words:

Mucosal bridge - Mucosal tag - Stomach
