Objective:

Report the clinical case of Gastric Adenomyoma as etiology of pyloric syndrome.

Clinical case:

We present a 52 years old man who attended the emergency room due pyloric syndrome and who underwent a distal gastrectomy. The pathological report revealed a gastric adenomyoma with ulcerative lesion.

Discussion:

This pathology is an unusual finding, and the literature describe it with extremely low rate of malignant transformation.

Conclusion:

Gastric adenomyoma is a infrequent pathology and should be taken into account when endoscopic studies are not enough to determine the etiology of a pyloric syndrome.
