INTRODUCTION Usually found in the gastrointestinal tract, carcinoids are the most frequent neuroendocrine tumors. Most of these lesions are located in areas that are difficult to access using conventional endoscopy (small intestine and appendix); carcinoid tumors found in the gastroduodenal tract and in the large intestine can be studied endoscopically; in these cases, if localized disease is c...

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.

The authors address the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound for the diagnosis of cystic and solid neoplasms of the pancreas, demonstrating that each of them is of great importance to undoubtedly increase the diagnostic accuracy of the biliopancreatic system diseases. The best method f...

Endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration is a useful diagnostic aid in evaluation of cystic pancreatic mass. We report our patient with pancreatic tuberculous abscess who presented with pyrexia, and was found to have cystic pancreatic mass on CT scan. Pancreatic tuberculous abscess was diagnosed with the help of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology ...

Aim: To evaluate the role of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of gallbladder microlithiasis, sludge, and stone in patients with clinical suspicion of cholecystitis, but with normal transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) during six months follow-up after laparosopic cholecystectomy (LCT). Background: Endosonography has been shown to be highly sensitive in the detection of choledoc...

The purpose of the work was to evaluate modern methods diagnosis that determined state vegetative fibers, tunnel morphology, and surgical treatment syndrome. There were 30 healthy individuals (control group) 45 patients (16 with compression ulnar nerve in zone cubital canal, 27 carpal canal syndrome median 2 Guyon syndrome). Clinical-roentgenologic methods, electroneuromyography (ENMG), ultraso...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an innovative advance in the treatment of early gastrointestinal (GI) cancer without lymph node metastases and precancerous lesions as it is an effective and safe therapeutic method. ESD has also been a promising therapeutic option for removal of submucosal tumors (SMTs) for improving the completeness of resection of a large lesion. Endoscopic ultrasono...
