A 63-year-old female with a Nissen funduplication that was diagnosed nine years previously presented with abdominal pain, weight loss and occasional dysphagia of a few months duration. A computed tomography (CT) scan identified an extensive gastric tumor with a subtle curvature and cardia with distal esophagus circumferential enlargement. Gastroscopy identified gastric linitis plastica with many attached residues. The biopsy was compatible with inflammatory changes. A linear echoendoscopy identified an area at the cardia level that was compatible with a foreign body with a lineal hyperechoic irregular focus.
