Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBV-GC) accounts for 8.7% of gastric cancer.(1) EBV-GC is associated with lower prevalence of lymph node metastasis (LNM), and better prognosis.(1-3) However, little is known regarding intramucosal EBV-GC. We report a case of multiple synchronous lesions of intramucosal EBV-GC. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
