 Flat sessile polypoid lesion simulating type Ⅱa of early gastric cancer accounts for the majority of the borderline lesion between malignancy and benignancy. In addition to the endoscopic findings and histologic study of biopsied specimens its characteristic clinical background have led us to assume that this lesion be an independent disease entity. Tentatively we call it as Ⅱa-subtype of polypoid lesion on the level of clinical diagnosis.

 Endoscopic findings of Ⅱa-subtype polypoid lesion consist in low-statured, broad-based elevation mostly less than 2 cm in diameter, although it ranges from as small as 5 mm to more than 3 cm in width. Smaller lesions are of smooth surface, but larger ones are apt to show uniform unevenness as if the gastric areas had been enlarged. The mucosal surface looks pale without any local reddening and is further characterized by the lack of erosive changes.

 Endoscopically differentiation from benign polyp is not so difficult; in typical cases it can also be distinguished mostly from type Ⅱa of early cancer that would often show irregular unevenness of the surface. If reddening or erosive change is additionally recognized, diagnosis of cancer is in order. However, in well-differentiated cancer with only slight unevenness of the surface and unaccompanied with erosive changes, differentiation between it and Ⅱa-subtype of polypoid losion may become difficult. A small polypoid lesion about 5 mm in diameter would also be hard to tell from small protrusions of gastritis origin.

 The positive results of endoscopy prior to biopsy in 55 cases of Ⅱa-subtype polypoid lesion were 82 per cent, showing that this lesion can be diagnosed mostly by endoscopy alone. Naturally, for more accurate diagnosis histologic study of biopsied specimens is indispensable. However, well-differentiated carcinoma may show in parts tissue hard to discriminate from Ⅱa-subtype of polypoid lesion and erroneous diagnosis could ensure in biopsied materials that are of limited scope and number. It becomes thus neccesary to have comprehensive judgment through periodic follow-up study by means of histologic examination of biopsied specimens including detailed observations of its gross morphology by means of both x-ray and endoscopy.
