Abstract
Implantation cyst is often reported to be a delayed complication after colorectal surgery. This report presents a 70-year-old man undergoing gastrectomy 33 years earlier for an acute gastric ulcer. His endoscopic finding showed a submucosal tumor about 20 mm in diameter at the gastro-jejunal anastomosis. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed that the tumor was a cystic mass that was continuous from the third layer, but there were no existences of internal substantial nodules, indicating that the tumor was diagnosed as implantation cyst. This is the first report showing that implantation cyst can occur at gastro-jejunal anastomosis. We should take into account the occurrence of implantation cyst, when we encounter a submucosal tumor at gastro-jejunal anastomosis after surgery even if a long period has passed.
