Core Tip

Core tip: Gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type (GA-FG) remains a rare disease despite a recent uptick in diagnoses. Here, we report a case of GA-FG with submucosal tumor-like appearance, located in the lower part of the gastric body. This case report discusses the probability-of-occurrence after Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy without long-term usage of proton pump inhibitors. Complete and curable removal of endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed. Further analysis of similar cases will reveal the clinical behavior of GA-FG.
