Abstract


A 78-year-old man underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of early gastric cancer (EGC) (type 0-IIa) in the anterior wall of the antrum. En bloc resection was achieved. The histopathological examination revealed very well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (tub1) of 30/span> 22 mm in size, confined to the mucosa. No lymphovascular invasion or ulceration was observed, and there was no undifferentiated-type component and the margins were tumor-free. Therefore, this lesion fulfilled the eCuraA criteria. Two years after ESD, esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an irregular, slightly-depressed lesion within the post-ESD scar. Tubular adenocarcinoma was suspected based on histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen. The tumor was resected by ESD. A histopathological examination revealed well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (tub1) of 6/span> 4 mm in size, confined to the mucosa. No lymphovascular invasion was detected and the margins were tumor-free. These findings indicated a curative resection. Recurrence following a curative ESD of an intramucosal differentiated-type EGC which fulfilled the eCuraA criteria is rare. Careful endoscopic observation using magnifying narrow band imaging (NBI) is needed after ESD, even when curative resection is achieved.
