4 The total number of cases of adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction, including BEA, is also increasing, with an increasing trend in all age groups, including young people. 2 However, the percentage of patients with BEA aged <50 years is approximately 9%, and the rate in those aged <30 years is even lower. 5 Only one report of BEA in Japanese patients aged <30 years exists in PubMed and the Japanese Medical Abstracts. 6 This report describes an extremely rare case involving a 20‐year‐old patient with BEA.
