Endoscopic submucosal dissection for a gastric fibrolipoma

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for a gastric fibrolipoma.

Fibrolipoma is one of the uncommon variant of lipomas characterized by the presence of adipose tissue and abundant amounts of fibrous tissues. It is usually encountered in a subdermal location and uncommonly involves the alimentary tract. This letter to editor describes a gastric submucosal mass which was ultimately diagnosed of fibrolipoma.

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer

The field of endoscopy has progressed markedly and become widespread in recent years, and the role of minimally invasive endoscopic treatment has become increasingly more important with the increase in the number of patients in whom gastric cancer is detected at an early stage. In addition, the characteristics of early gastric cancer, which can be curably treated by mucosal resection alone just...

[Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer].

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been accepted as a treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC). The number of EMR procedures for EGC has been increasing because a patient's quality of life after EMR is superior to that after surgical gastrectomy. In Japan, most EMR have been performed using the strip biopsy method; however, in some cases we experienced local recurrences when multiple fragmen...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastric Arteriovenous Malformation

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric adenomyoma

Gastric adenomyoma (GA) is a kind of rare gastric submucosal eminence lesions. As the malignant transformation cannot be ruled out, surgery and laparoscopic resection are usually considered. The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for GA.All of the patients with gastric submucosal eminence lesions who underwent ESD from Ju...
