Long‐term follow‐up of gastric squamous metaplasia

Abstract

A man in his eighties underwent surveillance esophagogastroduodenoscopy after curative endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer in the lesser　curvature of gastric angle. Endoscopy showed atrophic gastritis (the serum antibody of H. pylori was positive) and an 8 mm, whitish slightly depressed lesion at the posterior wall of the gastric antrum (Fig. 1). This lesion, which was identified six years earlier during an endoscopic submucosal dissection, had not changed in size and morphology during this period.
