      Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus that was originally identified in a human Burkitt lymphoma cell line. A small portion of EBV-infected individuals develop hematopoietic, epithelial, and mesenchymal tumors.

      The endoscopic features of EBV-associated gastric carcinoma (EBV-GC) have not been well-documented, and there have been no case reports regarding endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Here, we present a case of EBV-GC that was treated with ESD.
