Summary

Persistent pathological changes at endoscopy are reported in three patients. At explorative laparotomy the changes were seen to be caused by neighbouring organs (splenic artery, pancreas and gallbladder). A correct diagnosis of “pseudotumor” of the stomach is necessary to avoid unwarranted surgery or unnecessary biopsies.
