Abstract A case of a 59-year-old male patient with gastric neuroendocrine tumor which was misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma, is presented. Herein, primary diagnosis was made due to the similarity of endoscopic pictures of both diseases and dues to the inappropriate interpretation of a small biopsy sample. The patient was qualified for endoscopic submucosal dissection. Microscopic examination of whole lesion, supplemented by immmunohistochemical reactions (chromogranin A, synaptophysin, cytokeratins 7 and 20, Ki67) revealed gastric neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G2. The lesson learnt is that to provide effective treatment to the patient, it is necessary to use all available methods to make a proper diagnosis and to distinguish the suspected disease from others with similar features.

Abstract Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely performed for superficial esophageal cancer, but stricture after extensive resection is a major clinical problem. Using an ultrathin endoscope would enable endoscopists to approach lesions beyond the stricture. We evaluated the feasibility of an ultrathin endoscope for esophageal ESD. Methods To perform ESD with an ultrathin endoscope, we developed a transparent hood and ESD knife. A total of 24 esophageal ESDs were performed by two endoscopists with excised and live porcine esophaguses. A GIF-Q260 J and Dual knife were used in the conventional group and the GIF-XP260NS and a newly developed knife were used in the ultrathin group. En bloc resection rates, perforation rates, and procedure times were compared. Results All 24 lesions were resected en bloc without perforation. The mean procedure time was longer in the ultrathin group, although not significantly so (274.3 ± 81.8 s vs 435.8 ± 313.9 s, respectively; P = 0.22). Conclusion Although the procedure time was longer in the ultrathin group, en bloc resection was performed without any perforation. The findings indicate that esophageal ESD with an ultrathin endoscope is feasible.
