 Low grade tubular adenocarcinoma of the stomach used to be rare, but with the progress of endoscopy, such cancers can be detected in ordinary examinations. The diagnosis of biopsy specimens of that cancer is difficult because of the very low degree of atypical features. In this paper, the diagnosis points of biopsy specimens of low grade tubular adenocarcinoma are explained using several cases.

 As for such biopsy specimens, there are two main types, one is cancerous glands with regenerative change and one is cancer glands resembling normal glands. In the latter type there are two types. One type is cancers resembling the gland proper, such as foveolar epithelium, pyloric gland and fundic glands. Another type is cancers resembling intestinal glands, such as incomplete type intestinal metaplasia and complete type intestinal metaplasia. Those cancers have very low grade nuclear atypia, so pathologists pay special attention to small round nucleori, mild irregularity of nuclear size and mild irregular arrangement of nucleori. We should keep in mind that cancers which are recognized by only structural atypia also exist. Pathologists have to recognize the histological features of regenerative mucosa in diagnosing cancer with regenerative change. In cases with few atypical features in biopsy specimens, deeper cut sections are required. If a distinct diagnosis is difficult with only a few specimens, re-biopsy is recommended.

 In order to be able to diagnose such cancers, pathologists should make efforts to experience many cases of low grade tubular adenocarcinoma. And good communication between pathologists and clinical doctors is needed.
