A 69-year-old man underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for gastric cancer screening. EGD showed a reddish, semi-pedunculated polypoid lesion in the middle third of the stomach (Fig. 1A). Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band
ip t
imaging (M-NBI) revealed whitish exudates on the surface (Fig. 1B). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) disclosed hyperechoic lesion in the submucosal layer (Fig. 1C).
cr
The patient was negative for anti-parietal cell and anti-intrinsic factor antibodies.
Histological examination of the endoscopically resected specimen showed that the
us
tumor was composed of uniform cells with ovoid nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm, proliferation of capillary-sized vessels and fibrin exudates attached to the surface. The
an
tumor had invaded deep submucosal layer and was positive for chromogranin A (Fig. 2). The mitotic cells were not evident with the Ki-67 labelling index of 4.8%. Endocrine
M
cell micronests were not detected in the biopsy specimens obtained from the surrounding mucosa. The final diagnosis was a type 3 gastric neuroendocrine tumor (G-
ed
NET) of G2, which was restricted to the submucosal layer with lymphatic permeation, but without venous permeation. Because the patient refused surgery, we decided to
pt
carefully follow-up him.
Type 3 G-NET usually has the appearance of a solitary submucosal tumor,
Ac ce
markedly dilated vessels on the surface under M-NBI and hypoechoic homogeneous lesion under EUS [1]. Our case suggests that type 3 G-NET may manifest peculiar endoscopic features characterized by mucus exudates.
