Gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland (chief cell predominant type, GA-FG-CCP) was recently proposed as a new, rare variant of gastric adenocarcinoma. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the endoscopic features of GA-FG-CCP. A total of 10 GA-FG-CCPs were included and evaluated retrospectively. The endoscopic and clinicopathological features of the lesions were analyzed to provide information of diagnostic value. The GA-FG-CCPs were classified into two categories: submucosal tumor shape (60 %) and flat or depressed type (40 %). Endoscopically, the most common features were submucosal tumor shape (60 %), whitish color (70 %), dilated vessels with branching architecture (50 %), and background mucosa without atrophic change (90 %). GA-FG-CCP has distinct endoscopic characteristics, especially in terms of shape, color, vessels, and background mucosa and may be classified into two categories macroscopically. To diagnose GA-FG-CCP correctly by pathological examination of biopsy specimens, these endoscopic features should be taken into consideration.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
