A man in his 60 s underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at our hospital, which revealed a 30-mm elevated lesion in the upper stomach (main lesion). There were several discolored, flat mucosal lesions and slightly elevated, reddish, subepithelial mass-like lesions (multiple secondary lesions) in the gastric fornix and body. Histopathological examination of several biopsied secondary lesions revealed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland type (GA-FG) or gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland-mucosa type (GA-FGM). The main lesion was suspected to be GA-FGM on magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging. It was removed using endoscopic submucosal dissection for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The histopathological diagnosis of the resected lesion was GA-FGM, which was surrounded by two GA-FGM and > 30 GA-FG lesions. Total gastrectomy was considered; however, the patient declined further surgical treatment. Therefore, he was followed up with biannual endoscopy and computed tomography. At five years postoperatively, no tumor growth or metastasis has been observed.

D008297 Male Males
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.
