Core Tip

Core tip: Synchronous occurrence of two types of gastric tumor is relatively well described, but this is the first report of synchronous triple gastric adenocarcinoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and schwannoma. Consideration of the possible underlying involvement of Helicobacter pylori in MALT lymphoma and preoperative treatment with appropriate medication allowed performance of subtotal gastrectomy and a successful outcome.
