Abstract
- Superficial spreading stomach cancer, as first described by Stout in 1942, is superficially spreading cancer confined to mucosa and submucosa, and measuring up to 10 cm in diameter. Clinical manifestation is peptic ulcer like symptom with a long duration, and a gross appearance is characterized by reddening, irregular and slight nodular thickening of the involved mucosa. We should be careful to differentiate chronic atrophie gastritis or multiple superficial gastric erosions from superficial spreading stomach cancer. It is classified to a subtype of early gastric cancer type Ilc(IIc'') and the prognosis is as good as early gastric cancer. A 60-yearold woman was admitted to our hospital because of epigastric pain for 2 years. She was confirmed to have superficial spreading stomach cancer by gastroduodenoscopy, endoseopic ultrasonography, and operation. We report a case of superficial spreading stomach cancer with a review of relevant literatures.
