Özet

Idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a very rare entity in older adults, unlike in childhood. Although the etiology of idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is not clear, secondary causes such as excessive healing of gastric or duodenal ulcers, malignancies postoperative intraabdominal adhesions should be excluded. In this case presentation, we present an older adult admitted with symptoms mimicking gastric cancer and diagnosed with idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
