Giant Ulcerated Lipoma of the Colon Causing Iron Deficiency Anemia Successfully Treated with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Assisted Resection

Abstract:Colonic lipomas are frequently small and asymptomatic. Giant colonic lipoma (GCL) is an uncommon finding at endoscopy, and ulceration with occult blood loss leading to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is even rarer. The choice of therapeutic procedure to treat symptomatic GCLs has been controversial. We hereby report a case of…

Four Cases of Patients with Gastrointestinal Granular Cell Tumors

We present four cases of gastrointestinal granular cell tumors (GCT) with a literature review. Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors, a benign neural tumor thought to arise from Schwann cells, can occur in several areas, including the gastrointestinal tract. Studies suggest that endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic removal is the treatment of choice…

Advances in the Endoscopic Management of Patients with Pancreatic and Biliary Malignancies

Major advances in endoscopic techniques to diagnose and manage pancreatic biliary diseases have fundamentally changed the approach to these difficult clinical challenges. The diagnosis of benign and malignant pancreatic-biliary diseases is much more readily obtained through a combination of cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic procedures. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic…

Photodynamic Therapy and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Barrett’s Dysplasia and Early Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Background:Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic ablation with porfimer sodium photodynamic therapy (PDT) have recently been combined to improve the accuracy of histologic staging and remove superficial carcinomas. Materials and Methods:All patients with Barrett’s esophagus and high-grade dysplasia were evaluated with computed tomography and endosonography. Patients with nodular or irregular…
