We report a case of gastric cancer complicated with very well differentiated adenocarcinoma containing signet ring cells. An endoscopic examination revealed a pedunculated polyp in the fornix of the stomach. A surgical operation was performed and the pathological findings showed very well differentiated adenocarcinoma mimicking gastric foveolae with a poorly differentiated component containing signet ring cells. This is the first case of pedunculated gastric cancer complicated with very well differentiated adenocarcinoma containing signet ring cells and also demonstrating a gastric foveolar phenotype.
