Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection of a subepithelial lesion assisted by EUS miniprobe
A 68-year-old asymptomatic woman was involved in an ongoing research study evaluating the performance of a circulating tumor DNA-based blood test for early cancer identification (DETECT study). An abnormal result led to positron emission tomography–CT, which showed focal radiotracer uptake at the gastroesophageal junction (Fig. 1). This was followed by upper endoscopy, which revealed a small subepithelial lesion (SEL) at the esophagogastric junction/gastric cardia (Fig. 2). EUS showed a well-defined 22-mm × 14-mm hypoechoic lesion arising from the muscularis propria layer of the esophagus (Fig. 3).Endoscopic treatment of internal hemorrhoids by use of a bipolar system
Hemorrhoids occur in 4% of the population and are identified in 39% to 45% of colonoscopies.1 Internal hemorrhoids have been categorized further according to the Banov classification, which has grades I to IV. Although grades III and IV have typically been managed surgically, grades I and II can be treated by endoscopic means.1-3
