Successful resection of gastric cancer arising from a heterotopic gastric gland in the submucosa by endoscopic submucosal dissection

Abstract

Abstract Heterotopic gastric gland (HGG)‐originating early gastric cancer was endoscopically resected. We resected the HGG, widely marked the perimeter outside the submucosal tumor‐like area, injected from outside the markings into the submucosa, dissected the muscular layer, and used fine‐tip hood. HGG removal and ensuring negative horizontal and vertical margins are critical.
