Abstract:

Gastric "Crawling" Adenocarcinoma (CRA) is a rare variant characterized by irregular glandular fusion and low-grade cell atypia, which tends to spread laterally in the mucosa and is difficult to diagnose early. This is a case report of a 58-year-old middle-aged man diagnosed with early-stage stomach cancer. The previous physical examination of the patient found that the gastric horn was scattered in the ulcer focus. Endoscopic ulcer sampling was performed on the gastric horn mucosa, and the result was adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent accompanying laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for distal gastric cancer. Superficial concave or superficial flat type was seen throughout the tumor area. This case study is about the diagnosis of reptile cancer, which has certain discussion for future research.
