Coexistence of early cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in Helicobacter pylori –eradicated stomach

An 85-year-old man underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for a type 0-IIc early gastric cancer (EGC), followed by successful Helicobacter pylori eradication. Follow-up EGD 15 months later revealed a flat elevated lesion with an irregular depression in the lesser curvature of the gastric corpus (A). Magnifying narrow-band imaging endoscopy showed an irregular microsurface and microvessel patterns in the depression (B). Examination of a biopsy specimen from the depressed area revealed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.
