RESUMEN
Primary gastric rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare. An 87-year-old man visited our clinic with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-CT revealed a massive tumor originating from the muscularis propria of the stomach along with splenic vein tumor thrombosis. We diagnosed the patient with primary gastric rhabdomyosarcoma by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy.

Early-stage gastric cancer (EGC) found after Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication is often difficult to diagnose using conventional white light (WL) endoscopy. We aimed to evaluate whether Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI), a new image-enhanced endoscopy enhances the EGC lesions after Hp eradication. We also compared diagnostic accuracy and lesion detection time between WL and TXI in trainee endoscopists. 58 EGC lesions after successful Hp eradication were enrolled. Using endoscopic images in WLI, TXI mode 1 (TXI1), and TXI mode 2 (TXI2), visibility of EGC was assessed by six expert endoscopists using a subjective score. Mean color differences (ΔE) of four matched adjacent and intra-tumoral points were examined. Using randomly allocated images, diagnostic accuracy and lesion detection time were evaluated in three trainee endoscopists. Visibility score was unchanged (Score 0) in 20.7% (12/58) and 45.6% (26/57), slightly improved (Score 1) in 60.3% (35/58) and 52.6% (30/57), obviously improved (Score 2) in 45.6% (26/58) and 1.8% (1/57), in TXI1 and TXI2 compared to WL, respectively. Mean ΔE ± SEM in TXI1 (22.90 ± 0.96), and TXI2 (15.32 ± 0.71) were higher than that in WL (1.88 ± 0.26, both P < 0.0001). TXI1 presented higher diagnostic accuracy compared to WL, in two of three trainees (94.8% vs. 74.1%, 100% vs. 89.7%, P = 0.003; < 0.005, respectively). Lesion detection time was shorter in TXI1 in two of three trainees (P = 0.006, 0.004, respectively) compared to WL. TXI improves visibility of EGC after Hp eradication that may contribute to correct diagnosis.
