Inflammatory Pseudotumor of Splenic Hilar Node Mimicking Gastric Submucosal Tumor

ENDOSCOPIC REMOVAL OF GASTRIC CANCER BY METHYLENE BLUE INJECTION METHOD: SUBMUCOSAL CANCER WITHOUT THE NON-LIFTING SIGN

A 59 year old man is presented with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. In order to evaluate for the presence of the non-lifting sign, methylene blue was injected 2 mm from the perimeter of the tumor. Since the tumor lifted, snare removal of the tumor was done, safely. Partial gastrectomy was performed 2 weeks after endoscopic removal of the tumor which revealed no residual tumor or lymph node ...

Diagnosis of a small splenic artery aneurysm mimicking a gastric submucosal tumor on endoscopic ultrasound.

Endoscopic ultrasonography to study the causes of extragastric compression mimicking gastric submucosal tumor.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many reports have confirmed that endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can differentiate gastric submucosal tumor from extragastric compression, but only a few specifically concentrated on EUS in identifying the causes of external compression. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 1993 to May 2001, we used EUS in 238 patients to diagnose gastric submucosal tumor or external compres...

Inflammatory Pseudotumor of Spleen: A Case Report

Impact of splenic hilar lymph node metastasis on prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer

BACKGROUND Impact of splenic hilar LN dissection during total gastrectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer is controversial. The objective of this study was to assess the impact on prognosis of splenic hilar lymph node(LN) metastasis compared to that of metastasis to other regional LN groups. STUDY DESIGN Patients who underwent total gastrectomy with D2 LN dissection from 2000 to 2010 wer...
