Core Tip

Core tip: We report the first case of a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with focal signet ring cell carcinoma that arose from a fundic gland polyp in the stomach. The tumor was detected and completely excised by endoscopic snare polypectomy. Although malignant transformation of fundic gland polyps (FGPs) is extremely rare, endoscopists should consider the association of gastric polyps with gastric cancer for both hyperplastic polyps and FGPs.
