Sustained silence of a small signet ring cell carcinoma.

A 47-year-old man developed recurrent bloating. First gastroscopy showed there was a fading lesion about 0.5cm in size near the anterior wall of the large curve of the junction of the gastric antrum and the edge was red, and the biopsy pathology showed signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC). Subsequently, he went to other hospital for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, postoperative pathology indicated inflammation. After 6 months, gastroscopy showed that the lesion size was similar to that of the first time, the fading was obvious, and no redness was observed. Another year later, the lesion size was not significantly changed from these before. Weak amplification of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) showed slight dilatation of the glandular duct, mainly fading, no redness, and the biopsy was still SRC. Finally, he received a second ESD, and the postoperative pathology was consistent with that of our results.
