摘　　要：Crawling-type gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare subtype of gastric cancer with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its flat,ill-defined lesions.Advanced diagnostic techniques,such as narrow-band imaging and linear endoscopic ultrasonography,improve detection,but endoscopic submucosal dissection poses a risk of incomplete resection.Despite negative resection margins,vigilant postoperative monitoring is crucial due to the potential for recurrence.This letter highlights the importance of refined diagnostic criteria,individualized treatment approaches,and continuous follow-up to optimize management of this unique gastric cancer subtype.
