We suspected a Borrmann type 1 advanced gastric cancer, but we confirmed the gastric cancer confined to only mucosa without lymph node metastasis after operation. So we report a case of huge polypoid early gastric cancer mimicking advanced gastric cancer with a review of relevant literatures, (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2001;22:419-422)
