Abstract

A 43-year-old female patient had epigastralgia and had been pointed out SMT like elevated lesion on the anterior wall of the antrum in February 1995. Follow up study had done in April 1995, and diagnosed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma by biopsy. On ultrasonic endoscopy, the invasive depth of the tumor showed in the muscle layer. Gastrectomy was carried out.
There are more than 60 cases reported as SMT tumors in the stomach. We found this case as one of striking resemblance to gastric cancer and concidered about the some features of this type cancer in the stomach.
