Abstract
- In early gastric cancer, the most important prognostic factor is the presence or absence of a lymph node metastasis that is associated with the tumor size, histopathological differentiation, depth of tumor invasion and lympho-vascular invasion. A small sized differentiated mucosal cancer without a lympho-vascular invasion or histological ulceration rarely metastasizes to the lymph node. Herein, we report a case of a lymph node metastasis that is presented as an intra-abdominal mass in a 2.5 cm-sized differentiated mucosal cancer without ulceration or lympho-vascular invasion.
