Extra-gastric Cyst Lesions Mimicking Gastric Submucosal Tumor
Gastric cancer remains still the most frequent type of cancer despite its declining incidence in Korea. As a result of the health promotion policy of the Korean government and increase in concern for individuals’ health, screening endoscopy for detecting early gastric cancer and general physical exams have become widespread. Thereby, the incidental detection of gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs) ...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasonography to study the causes of extragastric compression mimicking gastric submucosal tumor.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many reports have confirmed that endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can differentiate gastric submucosal tumor from extragastric compression, but only a few specifically concentrated on EUS in identifying the causes of external compression. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 1993 to May 2001, we used EUS in 238 patients to diagnose gastric submucosal tumor or external compres...
متن کاملExtramural Perineural Invasion in pT3 and pT4 Gastric Carcinomas
BACKGROUND Perineural invasion (PNI) is widely studied in malignant tumors, and its prognostic significance is well demonstrated. Most studies have focused on evaluating the mural PNI (mPNI); however, extramural PNI (ePNI) may influence the prognosis in gastric cancer. We evaluated the prognostic value of ePNI compared with mPNI in gastric cancer in this observational comparative cross-sectiona...
متن کاملGastric Duplication Cysts in Adults: A Report of Three Cases
Gastric duplication cyst is a rare congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and is especially uncommon in adults. Most cases in adults are discovered incidentally on radiological examination or gastric endoscopy. Accurate diagnosis of these cysts before resection is difficult. Differential diagnoses are varied. Malignant transformation of a gastric duplication cyst is very rare. We pres...
متن کاملCutaneous Metaplastic Synovial Cyst: A Case Report
Cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst (CMSC), presents as a solitary, tender subcutaneous nodule that usually occurs at the site of previous surgery or trauma. Histologically, the lesion is characterized by a cystic structure with villous-like projections that lined by metaplastic synovial tissue. The main cause remains unclear, but trauma is presumed to be a precipitating factor, as most reporte...
