[EndoTODAY gastric cancer 833]

A patient with a gastric polyp, which was found in the screening endoscopy, was referred for the endoscopic treatment.

When I reviewed the outside endoscopic images, it was not a polypoid EGC, but a depressed type EGC with a small elevated lesion (tumor island). Endoscopic resection was done as usual.

3. Histologic type : tubular adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated
4. Histologic type by Lauren : intestinal
5. Size of carcinoma : (1) longest diameter, 18 mm (2) vertical diameter, 14 mm
6. Depth of invasion : invades mucosa (lamina propria) (pT1a)
7. Resection margin : free from carcinoma(N), safety margin : distal 11 mm, proximal 4 mm, anterior 12 mm, posterior 6 mm, deep 300 §­

10. Perineural invasion : not identified(N)
11. Pre-existing adenoma : none
12. Microscopic ulcer : absent
13. Histologic heterogeneity: absent

It is easier to find elevated lesions than depressed lesions. When a lesion was found, we need to see the surrounding mucosa carefully.


[EndoTODAY gastric cancer 853]

A patient with a small EGC was referred. It was described as a 10mm elevated lesion (biopsy: well differentiated adenocarcinoma).

When I reviewed more images, it was a depressed type EGC with a small elevated lesion (tumor island).

ESD was done.
