A case of nodular type of pseudolymphoma of the stomach was reported. The tumor measured 3.2 by 2.0 by 0.7 cm and was located astride the greater curvature of the muscularis propria. It was composed of many germinal centers surrounded by mature lymphocytes. There was no evidence of a previous peptic ulcer. The patient is now alive without any symptoms 8 years after the operation.
