This report describes a 16-year-old patient with gastric rugal hypertrophy caused by a primary gastric plasmacytoma. She had a 3-month history of nausea and burning abdominal pain. Radiographic studies showed giant rugal hypertrophy. Superficial endoscopic gastric biopsies showed mild inflammation with plasma cells of polyclonal origin in the mucosa. When symptoms persisted, she underwent laparoscopic full-thickness gastric biopsy. There was monoclonal plasma cell infiltration histologically diagnostic of plasmacytoma and inconsistent with Helicobacter pylori-associated mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. There was no evidence for involvement of the bone marrow or regional lymph nodes. The tumor did not respond to radiotherapy, necessitating total gastrectomy.
