Article Abstract

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is effective but technically challenging, often requiring traction devices that involve multiple clips and added time. The long cap-assisted method, using a transparent cap with an extended tip, offers a simple alternative. In 2 cases-a 65-year-old with early gastric cancer and an 81-year-old with a large colonic laterally spreading tumor-standard caps failed to provide sufficient countertraction. Switching to a long cylindrical cap (not tapered) improved submucosal visualization and facilitated dissection. To our knowledge, this is the first report to specifically describe the long cap's use in achieving countertraction during endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Tracheobronchial Dieulafoy's disease (TBDD) is a rare bronchial artery vascular malformation, characterized clinically by sudden, recurrent, and life-threatening massive hemoptysis. This article reports the case of a 9-year-old female patient who presented with massive hemoptysis lasting two weeks. Following ineffective treatment at a local hospital, she was transferred to our institution.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly originates in the pleura but can also occur at extrapleural sites, including the abdominal cavity. Among these, primary SFT of the stomach is exceptionally rare. Due to overlapping clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics, distinguishing SFT from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can be particularly challenging.

The efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for 10-20 mm rectal neuroendocrine tumors based on resection margin status.

Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China.

Background: Current guidelines recommend that rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) smaller than 10 mm can be treated by endoscopic resection, whereas tumors larger than 20 mm should be treated by surgical resection. However, the optimal treatment of 10-20 mm rectal NETs remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for 10-20 mm rectal NETs based on resection margin status.
