A 55-year-old-woman who had a small discolored lesion of the rest stomach, revealed by an endoscopy performed by a local doctor, was admitted to our hospital in May, 1999. Endoscopic examination revealed a small discolored lesion with irregular margin of the rest stomach. The pathological diagnosis was undifferentiated type gastric cancer. Upper GI X-ray examination showed a small irregular depressed lesion of the greater curvature of the rest stomach.
Then, we diagnosed a minute undifferentiated type gastric cancer of the rest stomach and performed endoscopic mucosal resection.
The lesion was 3×3mm in size and undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, which located in the mucosal layer. In conclusion, It is important to look for discovered discolored lesions and discolored lesions with very small reddish granules of the middle part of gastric body.
