Biopsies (1) in the national gastric cancer screening program (3 months ago), (2) the recent endoscopy (at local clinic) and (3) repeated biopsy after referral to the cancer center were all negative for malignancy. But, the endoscopic findings were so typical of Borrmann type IV. Surgery was immediately done.
