A hernia or protrusion occurring in the epigastric region of the abdomen.
From Greek 'epi' (upon) + 'gaster' (belly) + '-o-' (combining form) + '-cele' (hernia). This is a variant or alternative term for epigastriocele.
Epigastrocele and epigastriocele are essentially the same thing—they're both rare hernias of the upper abdomen, and the medical field hasn't completely standardized which name to use, so you see both.
