Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma is a specific subtype of gastric cancer that has recently attracted substantial attention because of its unique clinicopathologic phenotype of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with massive infiltration of lymphocytes and with a low frequency of lymph node metastasis. Two histologic characteristics are associated with EBV-associated gastric carcinoma: carcinoma with lymphoid stroma in the submucosa and a lace pattern in the mucosa. We report a typical finding of a lace pattern on magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI).
