• Fishbones are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies that cause gastrointestinal tract penetration.However,fishbones embedded in the gastrointestinal tract that lead to foreign body granulomas that mimic submucosal tumors are rare.Herein,we describe a56-year-old woman who presented with a 20-dayhistory of upper abdominal pain.Endoscopy revealed an elevated lesion in the gastric antrum.An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a mass in the gastric antrum and a linear calcified lesion in the mass.An endoscopic ultrasonography examination revealed a 3.9 cm×2.2 cm,irregular,hypoechoic mass with indistinct margins in the muscularis propria layer.The patient was initially diagnosed as having a submucosal tumor,and subsequent surgical resection showed that the lesion was a foreign body granuloma caused by an embedded fishbone.Our case indicated that the differential diagnosis of a foreign body granuloma should be considered in cases of elevated lesions in the gastrointestinal tract.
