Case ReportsGastric Adenocarcinoma of the Fundic Gland Type: A Clinicopathological Observation.
We investigated the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG). Endoscopic examination, histomorphological and pathological features were assessed in a 38-year female patient with GA-FG, who presented with upper abdominal pain. Upon endoscopic examination, we observed a smashed area around the cardia. ⋯ Endoscopic submucosal dissection was then performed and the tumor was found to infiltrate into the submucosa. GA-FG is a new tissue type of gastric cancer with unique clinicopathological features, with a good prognosis, and no tendency to relapse. Key Words: Gastric adenocarcinoma, Fundic gland type, Endoscopy.
