A patient (F/44) visited my out-patient clinic due to cancer lesion detected in the screening endoscopy 1 day ago.

The endoscopic image was typical of an EGC with undifferentiated type histology. The lesion is pale and slightly depressed with a faint converging fold. The edge was spiculated. The base was relatively flat, but there were some hyperemic areas. Based on these findings, I recommended surgery. EGD, CT, and basic pre-op laboratory tests were prescribed.

In the surgical pathology, the depth of invasion was SM3, and there was a lymph node metastasis at #3 station (lesser curvature).

Stomach, subtotal gastrectomy: Early gastric carcinoma
1. Location : lower third, Center at body and anterior wall
