Abstract

Adenomas of the stomach are true neoplasms, representing 8-10% of epithelial gastric polyps. Gastric adenomas are well known to be associated with malignancy and can be regarded as having significant malignant potential. If technically feasible, they should therefore be removed completely by snare cautery and laser therapy. There have been few reports about the newly developed adenomas at other gastric locations after removal or during follow-up surveillance of the primary lesion. We report a case of gastric tubular adenoma which developed at other gastric location after endoscopic mucosectomy.
