A patient with EGC was referred (pathology report: P/D adenocarcinoma). Based on the pathology report and unclear border of the lesion, initial plan was surgery. However, outside slide review and repeated biopsy at my hospital was all M/D adenocarcinoma.

55 year old male

After a long and careful discussion, the patient and I decided to do ESD.

ESD was done as usualy and the final pathology was excellent.

2. Gross type : EGC type IIc
3. Histologic type : tubular adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated (WHYX type)
4. Histologic type by Lauren : intestinal
5. Size of carcinoma : (1) longest diameter, 22 mm (2) vertical diameter, 21 mm
6. Depth of invasion : invades mucosa (lamina propria) (pT1a)
7. Resection margin : free from carcinoma(N), safety margin : distal 7 mm, proximal 10 mm, anterior 12 mm, posterior 10 mm, deep 300
8. Lymphatic invasion : not identified(N)
9. Venous invasion : not identified(N)
