Abstract
The incidence of gastric cancer is high in old age group and low in young age group, extremely rare in child age. So the diagnosis of gastric cancer in young age is often delayed, and this, with other factors such as poorly differentiated histopathologic tendency and rapid growing nature, makes the prognosis poorer than in other age guoup. Therefore it should always be remembered that the young who has gastric symptom may have malignancy in his stomach in spite of the age. We report a case of early gastric cancer in a 16-years old male with the review of the literature.
