In recent years, there have been reports of a new histological type of gastric cancer, termed gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland (GA-FG). This disease entity presents differentiation towards the fundic gland, especially chief cell-predominant differentiation (GA-FG-CCP). GA-FG-CCP easily invades into the submucosa but rarely shows metastasis. The reports mostly describe primarily single lesions. Herein, we report a case with multiple lesions, and summarize the clinicopathologic characteristics of multiple cases.
