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.
