Core Tip

Core tip: Multiple gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland (chief cell-predominant type, GA-FG-CCP) is rare in clinical practice. Our case provides diagnostic and therapeutic information about multiple GA-FG-CCP. We also summarize characteristics of three multiple cases with GA-FG-CCP, and most of its endoscopic and clinicopathological features are similar to those of single lesions. More data are needed to advance our understanding.
