Correlation between White Globe Appearance and Clinicopathologic Characteristics in Early Gastric Cancer by Dae Jin Jung, Gwang Ha Kim, Kyungbin Kim, Hye Kyung Jeon, Dong Chan Joo, Moon Won Lee, Bong Eun Lee

“…Although WGA was observed more frequently in lesions with an oval/tubular MS pattern, a fine-network MV pattern, and the absence of WOS, the difference was not statistically significant (MS pattern, p=0.358; MV pattern, p=0.212; WOS, p=0.121, respectively). Conclusions: WGA was associated with small tumor size, differentiated-type histology, and middle-third tumor location, and was more frequently observed in lesions with an oval/tubular MS and fine-network MV patterns and the absence of WOS.…”
