Cecal Leiomyoma: Can We Attempt Endoscopic Resection?
Gastrointestinal leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors arising from the muscularis mucosae, muscularis propriae and possibly from smooth muscle of the vessel wall. Management depends on the size, location and the clinical scenario. Endoscopic snare cauterization with or without saline lift has been described in literature for tumors involving the left colon. To the best of our knowledge, endoscop...
متن کاملEndoscopic resection of a large colonic leiomyoma.
A 48-year old man suffered from intermittent hematochezia and abdominal cramping over a period of four weeks. A colonoscopy revealed a 4.5 cm semi-pedunculated tumor in the transverse colon. Using a 2-channel colonoscope, the tumor was successfully removed with an electro-surgical snare after normal saline submucosal injection. Microscopic examination revealed it to be a smooth muscle tumor wit...
متن کاملSubmucosal tunneling endoscopic resection of a giant esophageal leiomyoma.
Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) for removal of small upper gastrointestinal tumors arising from the muscularis propria has been demonstrated to be effective and safe [1, 2]. We demonstrated the submucosal tunneling technique for removal of a 10-cm esophageal leiomyoma, and subsequent management of a large mucosotomy. A 66-year-old woman presented with slowly progressive solid-f...
متن کاملPosterior Wall Gastric Leiomyoma: Endoscopic Tattooing Facilitates Laparoscopic Resection
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the application of tattooing for the intraoperative localization of posterior wall gastric leiomyoma during laparoscopic resection. The preoperative injection of Indian ink in the tumor-bearing area of the posterior gastric wall eliminates the need to perform anterior wall gastrostomy or intraoperative upper endoscopic tumor localization. METHODS A patient with poster...
متن کاملLaparoscopic-Assisted Endoscopic Resection of a Gastric Leiomyoma
Leiomyomas are infrequent benign intestinal tumors that can arise at any age and location within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These tumors can cause symptoms including abdominal pain, obstruction, intussusception, volvulus, GI bleeding, or amass and should be resected if symptomatic. Open surgical resection is considered the standard for removing these tumors. However, recent improvements i...
