Figure 4

(a) An undifferentiated type 0-IIc lesion on the lesser curvature of the lower gastric body. (b) Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging shows only a regular microvascular pattern plus a regular microsurface pattern in the cancerous mucosa with no identifiable demarcation line. (c) Multiple biopsies were taken from the mucosa surrounding the lesion to determine the horizontal extent of the cancer. (d) Marking dots were placed outside the scars of negative biopsies, and ESD was performed. (e) Histopathologically, the cancer extends to height of the glandular neck within the lamina propria mucosae and is covered with normal crypt epithelium.
