Gastric mucosal calcinosis (GMC) is the deposition of calcium salts in gastric tissue. We report a case of GMC in a pediatric patient with a prior history of cholelithiasis and nephrolithiasis who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Laboratory evaluation did not show any abnormalities. Upper endoscopy revealed numerous gastric nodules; biopsies revealed calcium deposition in the superficial lamina propria. Recognizing GMC may aid with evaluation of a patient with vague gastrointestinal symptoms.
