[A Case of Early Gastric Cancer That Coexisted with Multiple Submucosal Heterotopic Gastric Glands].

We report a case of surgical resection of an early gastric cancer that coexisted with multiple submucosal heterotopic gastric glands.A man in the 80's referred to our department because of an increased level of CEA.He had undergone hepatectomy for heterochronous liver metastasis of colon cancer.Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an early gastric cancer that coexisted with multiple submucosal gastric glands.He underwent segmental gastrectomy for gastric cancer.He exhibited no symptoms at the time of discharge.He has had no recurrence of gastric cancer 6 months after the surgery.We should appropriately care for synchronous or heterochronous gastric cancer in the remnant stomach if total gastrectomy is not performed in cases of therapy for gastric cancer with multiple submucosal heterotopic gastric glands.
