Oxyntic gland adenomas (OGAs) are benign gastric neoplasms composed of gland-forming epithelial cells with predominantly chief cell differentiation resembling oxyntic glands confined to the mucosa. If tumor has submucosal invasion, it should be classified as adenocarcinoma fundic type. The OGAs can pose a diagnostic challenge, they resemble aggressive neoplasms.

The objective of this article is to highlight the clinical features, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention gastric cancer (GC). Early GC often asymptomatic leading frequent delays in diagnosis.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited medical condition characterized by hyperpigmented mucocutaneous macules, hamartomatous polyps in the digestive tract, and with a greater risk of gastrointestinal non-gastrointestinal cancers. In fact, without appropriate surveillance, lifetime for all cancers combined may be as high 93%. The rare, estimates incidence varying between 1 8,300 280,000 live births.
