Résumé
Invasion is more likely to occur in gastric cancer affecting larger areas. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma tends to invade deep. The cardiac region prefers submucosal invasion because the submucosa is coarser than the other regions. A 75-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of abdominal discomfort and weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an irregular ulcerative lesion with partial redness of the upper body and lesser curve of the stomach. A continuous shallow depressed lesion invaded the abdominal esophagus by approximately 40 mm. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (por, sig) were observed on biopsy. Grossly, the cancer appeared to extend into the muscle layer; however, we could not confirm invasion into the muscle layer in our biopsy tissue. We diagnosed the lesion as a superficial spreading type of advanced gastric cancer and performed a total gastrectomy, D2-lymph node dissection (spleen preservation), Roux-en-Y reconstruction, and cholecystectomy. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed extensive infiltration of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (90 mm × 55 mm), and all were intramucosal lesions. The final pathological diagnosis was T1a, N0, M0, and Stage IA. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 11. Five years have passed since the operation, and the patient is alive without recurrence. We encountered a case of gastric carcinoma in which poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas expanded extensively. All lesions were intramucosal.

BACKGROUND
Invasion is more likely to occur in gastric cancer affecting larger areas. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma tends to invade deep. The cardiac region prefers submucosal invasion because the submucosa is coarser than the other regions.
CASE PRESENTATION
METHODS
A 75-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of abdominal discomfort and weight loss. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an irregular ulcerative lesion with partial redness of the upper body and lesser curve of the stomach. A continuous shallow depressed lesion invaded the abdominal esophagus by approximately 40 mm. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (por, sig) were observed on biopsy. Grossly, the cancer appeared to extend into the muscle layer; however, we could not confirm invasion into the muscle layer in our biopsy tissue. We diagnosed the lesion as a superficial spreading type of advanced gastric cancer and performed a total gastrectomy, D2-lymph node dissection (spleen preservation), Roux-en-Y reconstruction, and cholecystectomy. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed extensive infiltration of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (90 mm × 55 mm), and all were intramucosal lesions. The final pathological diagnosis was T1a, N0, M0, and Stage IA. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day (POD) 11. Five years have passed since the operation, and the patient is alive without recurrence.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
We encountered a case of gastric carcinoma in which poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas expanded extensively. All lesions were intramucosal.
