A case of small invasive gastric cancer arising from Helicobacter pylori- negative gastric mucosa: Fundic gland-type adenocarcinoma.

This study showed that we need to bear in mind the possibility of gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type upon encounter with such elevated lesions originating from ()-negative gastric mucosa. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because small invasive gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type is a rare disease entity, which exhibits a submucosal tumor-like or superficial flat-type elevated lesion on -negative gastric mucosa in the endoscopic examinations.
