Endoscopic resection of gastric submucosal tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Submucosal tumors (SMT) are occasionally found in the esophagus and stomach during diagnostic endoscopy with reported incidence of 0.36% (1). There was no consensus on the management of incidental SMT as the histopathologic nature of such tumor is often uncertain. Attempt in obtaining adequate samples for tissue diagnosis is associated with risk of hemorrhage and perforation. The reported diagnostic yield was inconsistent and often disappointing (2). With the advancement of endoscopic instruments, numerous studies have reported the feasibility of endoscopic treatment of gastric SMT (2-5). We herein report endoscopic resection of a 3 cm SMT located in gastric antrum. Case presentation

A 59 year old man is presented with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. In order to evaluate for the presence of the non-lifting sign, methylene blue was injected 2 mm from the perimeter of the tumor. Since the tumor lifted, snare removal of the tumor was done, safely. Partial gastrectomy was performed 2 weeks after endoscopic removal of the tumor which revealed no residual tumor or lymph node ...

PURPOSE Early gastric cancer cases that are estimated to meet indications for treatment before endoscopic submucosal resection are often revealed to be out-of-indication after the treatment. We investigated the short-term treatment outcomes in patients with early gastric cancer according to the pretreatment clinical endoscopic submucosal resection indications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrosp...

We developed the laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) technique, which combines endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic gastric resection to resect gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Many researchers have reported LECS to be a feasible technique for gastric submucosal tumor resection regardless of tumor location, including the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Rec...

A 95-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with intermittent vomiting and several episodes of melena. Abdominal computed tomography revealed intussusception of the gastric tumor into the duodenum. After endoscopic reduction, endoscopic ultrasonography identified a hypoechogenic lesion limited to the submucosal layer. Endoscopic resection was performed as a localized treatment for th...

We report a case of gastric hamartomatous inverted polyps that are a rare histological type of gastric polyp and difficult to diagnose. Gastric submucosal tumor was detected by upper gastrointestinal X-ray series in 37-year-old man. Endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor (SMT) , which eroded with a depression on its surface in the fornix. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous tumor i...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Type I Gastric Carcinoid Tumors Compared with Conventional Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Background and Aims. Conventional endoscopic submucosal resection (EMR) of carcinoid tumors often involves the resection margin, which necessitates further intervention. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely accepted for removing carcinoid tumors. We aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of ESD with that of EMR for resection of type I gastric carcinoid tumors. Patients and Method...
