A 40-year-old man underwent gastroscopy for symptoms of vomiting, early satiety and a history of a 10-lb weight loss. A large, circumferential antral tumor was seen with 3 cm of edematous but normal-appearing antral mucosa between the tumor and the pylorus. Biopsy showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.
