Abstract

Abstract : 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 Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori )‐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 H. pylori ‐negative gastric mucosa in the endoscopic examinations.
