Youngest case of an early gastric cancer after successful eradication therapy

Figure 1 Endoscopic views. A: Conventional endoscopy before dye spraying showed a depressed area, 20 mm in size, was detected at the anterior wall in the greater curvature of the gastric body. The depressed area was discolored with a reddish spot, and converging folds were also evident endoscopically; B: Chromoendoscopy after 0.4% indigo-carmine dye spraying better defined the depressed area.

Figure 2 Surgical specimens obtained by a laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy revealed an depressed cancer with fold convergence (white arrow).
