Review Case ReportsSlow progression of gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type: a case report.
Here we report the case of a 73-year-old male who had undergone esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at a nearby hospital or at our hospital every year since 2006. In 2013, EGD results revealed a discolored lesion, measuring 6mm in diameter, on the anterior side of the upper body in the stomach. Helicobacter pylori (HP) was eradicated in 2010, and the background mucosa around the lesion was endoscopically diagnosed as non-atrophic. ⋯ In this case, slow tumor progression was observed. In 2015, no new lesions in the stomach or metastatic area were detected. Here we report a rare case of gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type that showed very slow progression.
