Abstract

A 34-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for a medical check-up for gastric cancer. Endoscopic examination showed a depressed type of gastric cancer on the greater curvature of the lower body and nodular gastritis on the antrum. Biopsy specimens from the tumor showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed. Histological examination of the resected specimen showed the tumor invaded the proper muscle. We experienced a case of advanced gastric cancer with nodular gastritis in a young adult.
