Endoscopic Features of Gastric Epithelial Neoplasm of Fundic Gland Mucosa Lineage.

ABSTRACT: The endoscopic features of gastric epithelial neoplasms of fundic gland mucosa lineage (GEN-FGML) have not been well investigated. We aimed to clarify the endoscopic features of GEN-FGML and differences between gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG) and fundic gland mucosa type (GA-FGM). A total of 62 GEN-FGML lesions, including 52 GA-FG and 10 GA-FGM, were retrospectively analyzed using endoscopic and clinicopathological findings to provide information of diagnostic value using white light imaging (WLI) and magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI). GA-FG frequently presented with a whitish, submucosal tumor (SMT) shape with dilated vessels with branching architecture and background mucosa without atrophic change in WLI, an indistinct demarcation line (DL), di
