Objective:

To report a case of spontaneous gastrocutaneous fistula (SGCF) resulting from a benign gastric ulcer and discuss its pathophysiology and management.

Key Findings:
  • SGCF is typically acquired, often due to iatrogenic causes or malignancies.
  • The case involved a benign gastric ulcer leading to a fistulous tract after a 30-year history of an abdominal wall nodule.
  • Imaging confirmed the presence of a gastrocutaneous fistula, and surgery was successfully completed.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The rarity of SGCF limits generalizability of findings.
  • Long-term follow-up data on similar cases are lacking.
Conclusion:
