RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to reveal risk factors for delayed bleeding after endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) and at exploring measures to prevent this complication. METHODS: A total of 235 consecutive patients with 249 SNADETs who had undergone ER were enrolled in this study. They were divided into two groups: OTSC group, consisting of the initial 114 cases in which the defects were closed only using OTSCs; and OTSC-c group, consisting of the later 135 cases in which conventional clips were additionally used to cover the inverted submucosa after post-procedure defect closure using OTSCs. The therapeutic outcomes were then compared between the OTSC and OTSC-c groups. RESULTS: All lesions were successfully resected en-bloc, and the R0 resection rate was 92.4%. The complete defect closure rate was 90.0% and no delayed perforation occurred when successful defect closure was achieved. The rate of delayed bleeding was significantly higher in the OTSC group than in OTSC-c group (11.4% vs. 1.5%, P = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that tumor location distal to the ampulla (OR 10.0; 95% CI 1.24-81.0, P = 0.03) and use of a DOAC (OR 8.83; 95% CI 1.13-68.7, P = 0.04) were significant independent predictors of delayed bleeding. Propensity score-matching analysis revealed that additional use of conventional clips was associated with a significantly reduced risk of delayed bleeding (P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Additional use of conventional clips after prophylactic defect closure using OTSCs appears to be useful to reduce the risk of delayed bleeding after ER of SNADETs.

RESUMO
A 25-year-old man was referred to our center for investigation of a gastric submucosal tumor and an ulcer that had developed on its oral side. Endoscopic ultrasonography findings suggested the presence of an ectopic pancreas, and treatment with an oral proton pump inhibitor was planned for the ulcer. Over the subsequent 3 years, the patient endured recurring epigastric pain and episodes of passing black stools. Emergency endoscopy revealed that the morphology of the gastric submucosal tumor had transformed into a pedunculated polyp-like morphology with a bleeding ulcer at the apex of the lesion. Endoscopic hemostasis using hemostatic forceps was performed. However, the patient continued to pass black stools. In light of the persistent symptoms and unique morphology of the lesion, endoscopic resection was attempted as a curative approach. The lesion was excised by hot snare polypectomy. Post-treatment, the patient exhibited no signs of recurrence, marking a successful resolution. Three months later, a gastroduodenal endoscopy showed that the excised site had undergone scar formation without recurrence of the lesion. This case holds significant clinical value as it demonstrates the efficacy of a minimally invasive treatment strategy in managing repeated bleeding ulcerations of an ectopic pancreas, ultimately achieving a complete cure.

RESUMO
While duodenal neoplasms of the gastric phenotype are uncommon and their natural history is unknown, gastric neoplasms of gastric phenotype reportedly grow rapidly and can invade the submucosa. Several studies suggest that duodenal neoplasms of gastric phenotype might have a high risk of deep invasion and lymph node metastasis. Duodenal neoplasms of gastric phenotype might also have a high biological malignancy and likely require early treatment if detected. Here, we report two cases of intramucosal duodenal carcinoma with a gastric phenotype that grew rapidly but was successfully resected endoscopically.
RESUMO
Background and study aims Endoscopic treatment strategies for small superficial duodenal epithelial neoplasia (SDET) have not been established, and the R0 resection rates of all previously reported endoscopic techniques are somewhat low. Furthermore, no reports of cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (EMRC), which is reportedly associated with a relatively high R0 resection rate, have been evaluated in sufficient numbers of patients. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy and safety of EMRC for SDETs ≤ 10 mm in a retrospective cohort study. Patients and methods We examined a prospectively maintained database and identified 248 consecutive patients (248 lesions) who had undergone endoscopic resection for SDETs ≤ 10 mm between January 2017 and June 2022. Our treatment strategy was consistent, with EMRC indicated for all SDETs ≤ 10 mm without non-lifting signs. The primary endpoint was the R0 resection rate. Results Overall, 20 lesions had non-lifting signs and were selected for endoscopic submucosal dissection, while the remaining 228 lesions were treated with EMRC. As a result of EMRC, the median tumor size was 5 mm, and the mean procedure time was 5 minutes. Most of the lesions (89.2%) were located in the descending part. The R0 resection rate was 97.4% (222/228 cases), and the en bloc resection rate was 99.6%. Only seven patients(3.1%) experienced adverse events (6 patients, delayed bleeding; 1 patient, acute pancreatitis), which were successfully managed without surgical intervention. Furthermore, no recurrences were observed. Conclusions We have demonstrated that EMRC is an effective and safe treatment for SDETs ≤ 10 mm that do not have non-lifting signs.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Gastric mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare malignant tumors. The lack of specific findings makes it difficult to diagnose endoscopically. We report the case of early gastric mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old Japanese female underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for screening and was treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Histopathologically, the lesion was diagnosed as mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (tubular adenocarcinoma 2 60%, endocrine cell carcinoma 40%), pT1b(submucosa (SM) 900 µm), pUL(-), Ly(+), v(-), pHM0, pVM0. After additional surgical resection without adjuvant chemotherapy, she has had no recurrences or metastases for 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Comparing narrow-band imaging magnified endoscopic findings with pathological findings, the depressed area with a lack of surface structure was consistent with the neuroendocrine cell carcinoma component, while narrow-band imaging magnification findings showed non-network vessels. In this case, we examined endoscopic findings of early stage mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms in detail and compared it with the pathological findings. We believe that these endoscopic findings contribute to the diagnosis of mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms and can lead to its early detection.

A 71-year-old woman was given a barium meal examination as part of a workup for recurring melena and iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and it revealed a large duodenal polyp measuring 60 mm in diameter. Subsequent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a large pedunculated polyp in the duodenal bulb. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI) showed that the lesion consisted of a regular enlarged intervening part between crypts of the epithelium that resembled gastric mucosa. Although the lesion was suspected of being benign, it was resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to prevent the progression of the IDA. The pathology examination revealed the proliferation of mildly irregular-shaped or dilated glands lined by cuboidal cells and low columnar cells in the submucosa. The gastric glands were immunohistochemically positive for MUC6, suggesting pyloric gland differentiation. The lesion was covered by a foveolar-type epithelium, and we made a diagnosis of pyloric gland adenoma (PGA). PGAs are most common in the stomach, and they are rare in the duodenum, where endoscopic treatment is technically challenging. Here we report a case of large duodenal PGA successfully resected by ESD. Since part of PGAs has been reported to be associated with adenocarcinoma, minimally invasive treatment strategies are desirable to reduce the risk of progression to carcinoma.

Esophageal ectopic sebaceous glands are very rare lesions. A series of 5 cases in a single report has been the maximum number described in the English literature to date. We conducted a clinicopathologic study of 8 cases of esophageal ectopic sebaceous glands. The median patient age at the time of diagnosis was 60 years (range, 50-71 years), and 7 of the 8 patients were male. A focal lesion was observed in 7 cases, whereas 1 case exhibited multiple lesions throughout the esophagus. Four patients had previously undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy; in 3 patients, the focal lesion had not been detected. After diagnosis, 3 cases showed spontaneous regression at least once. Immunohistochemically, sebocytes of all 8 cases were negative for the estrogen receptor (ER) and the progesterone receptor (PgR), whereas sebocytes of 5 cases were positive for the androgen receptor (AR). Basal/parabasal cells were positive for AR, ER, and PgR in 5, 7, and 4 cases, respectively. GATA3 was expressed in the sebocytes and basal/parabasal cells of 6 out of 7 available cases, whereas all of 7 available cases were negative for mammaglobin and GCDFP15. Our report provides the basic clinicopathologic characteristics of esophageal ectopic sebaceous glands by the largest case series reported in English literature to date. Furthermore, the chronological changes, particularly spontaneous regression, and immunohistochemical expression of hormone receptors and GATA3 are compatible with lesions resulting from congenital misplacement under hormonal regulation. Therefore, they seem to be congenital misplacements detectable as a result of hormonal stimulated growth.

Large ileal lipomas over 2 cm can cause symptoms, that may require a resection. Due to the narrow lumen and thin walls of the ileum, endoscopic treatments can have a high risk of adverse events and require technical expertise, thus surgical resection is currently the mainstay of treatment. To overcome the technical challenges, we developed a novel method to endoscopically resect terminal ileal lipomas. The technique involves extracting the lesion into the cecum, which creates sufficient space to maneuver, and a better field of view. The lipoma is resected with endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection. The appearance of the lipoma protruding out of the ileocecal valve resembles that of a tongue sticking out of the mouth, thus we named this the "tongue out technique". To assess the technical feasibility of this method, we retrospectively analyzed seven cases of terminal ileal lipoma that were endoscopically resected using the "tongue out technique" at NTT Medical Center Tokyo between January 2017 and October 2023. Technical success was 100% and en bloc resection was achieved in all cases. The median size was 31 (14-55) mm. Three cases were resected with endoscopic mucosal resection while endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed on the other four cases. There was one case of delayed post-endoscopic mucosal resection bleeding, which was caused by clip dislodgement. There were no perforations. No recurrence of the lipoma or associated symptoms have been observed. This new technique can allow more ileal lipomas to be treated with minimally invasive and organ-preserving endoscopic procedures.
