In 0.8–3.4% of all gastric carcinomas multi-centric carcinoma is found, however early
multi-centric carcinoma is probably much more frequent. A higher frequency can also
be seen in cases of precancerous lesions like polyposis or pernicious anemia. For
appropriate therapy exact endoscopic diagnosis is extremely important.
