Background: An oxyntic gland neoplasm confined to the mucosal layer (T1a) is classified as an oxyntic gland adenoma, whereas that with submucosal invasion (T1b) is defined as gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type (GA-FG). Methods: To reveal the differences in clinical features between them, we retrospectively investigated 136 patients with 150 oxyntic gland adenoma and GA-FG lesions. Results: The univariate analysis revealed that the mean size (GA-FG vs. oxyntic gland adenoma, 7.7±5.4 vs. 5.5±3.1 mm), the prevalence of elevated morphology (79.1% vs. 51.8%), black pigmentation within the lesion (23.9% vs. 9.6%), and non or closed-type atrophy (81.2% vs. 65.1%) were different between the two groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that ≥5 mm lesion size (odds ratio, 2.96; 95% confidence interval: 1.21–7.23), elevated morphology (odds ratio, 2.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.06–5.45), and no or closed-type atrophy (odds ratio, 2.49; 95% confidence interval: 1.07–5.80) were factors in distinguishing GA-FG from oxyntic gland adenoma. When oxyntic gland neoplasms with no or one feature were judged as oxyntic gland adenomas and those with two or three features were judged as GA-FG, the sensitivity and specificity were 85.1% and 43.4% for GA-FG, respectively. Conclusions: We identified three possible distinctive features of GA-FG compared to oxyntic gland adenoma: lesion size ≥5 mm, elevated morphology, and no or closed-type atrophy.
