Background and AimsSeveral traction methods have sought to overcome the technical difficulties of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, direction has remained limited in most these methods, with lack clarity about optimal method for gastric ESD. A spring-and-loop clip (SLC) been developed as a multidirectional device. Here, we investigated whether SLC traction-assisted ESD (SLC-ESD) ...

Gastric adenocarcinoma developing concomitantly with a gastric lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type is rare. Herein, we report a case with a synchronous primary gastric MALT lymphoma and an early adenocarcinoma of the stomach. A 72-year-old patient with initial presentation of weight loss was found with endoscopy to have a large tumor mass in the gastric body. Pathologi...

INTRODUCTION Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are a rare condition. Only 5% are of gastric origin, and this corresponds to 2% to 3% of all benign tumors of the stomach and less than 1% of all gastric neoplasms. It is our purpose to report an unusual presentation of a giant gastric lipoma in an oligosymptomatic patient and highlight the importance of discussing differential diagnosis in thi...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous vasculitis has been mainly associated with hematologic cancer. The association of solid neoplasms with cutaneous paraneoplastic vasculitis is rare. We report a case of cutaneous leucocytoclastic vasculitis that revealed a gastric adenocarcinoma. CASE REPORT A 72-year-old man presented with an acute diffuse polymorphic eruption, with erythematous, vesicular, and necrotic l...

Neoplasms from almost every tissue have been reported to metastasize to the pituitary. Gastric carcinoma is a rare cause of metastases in pituitary gland. Gastric carcinoma will be the primary tumor in less than 2% of patients with pituitary gland metastases. We report the case of a 60-years old white man with liver metastasis from gastric cancer with fair presentation symptoms of pituitary gla...
