Core Tip	Histopathological diagnosis is the diagnostic gold standard of gastric cancer required by medical ethics and practice guideline. However, cases with repeated suspected false negative pathological results always concern medical practitioners a great deal. This article might illustrate a possible standard process for these cases. We propose that, if gastric cancer is highly suspected when typical radiology changes of widely diffuse gastric parietal lesions suffice to exclude lymphoma and other similar situations, and even in absence of a positive biopsy result, surgery could be perform with the agreement of the patient after being decided by a multidisciplinary discussion team.
