    Epstein–Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) accounts for approximately 8.7% of gastric cancers and predominantly affects males.

  • 2

    The case involved a 56-year-old patient diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma, revealing two distinct superficial depressed lesions post-Helicobacter pylori treatment.

  • 3

    Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) confirmed two independent foci of intramucosal EBVaGC, achieving curative resection without lymphovascular invasion.

  • 4

    Active Helicobacter pylori infection can obscure minute neoplastic lesions, complicating their detection and assessment during endoscopy.

  • 5

    Short-term Helicobacter pylori eradication may improve the detection of gastric lesions and delineation of margins, warranting further validation in larger studies.
