Primary endoscopic hemostasis for bleeding gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is rarely reported. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a bleeding GIST that was treated with endoscopic obturation with tissue adhesive. A 46-year-old man presented with hematemesis and tarry stool for 1 day. Upper GI endoscopy revealed a bleeding submucosal tumor at the stomach fundus and an exposed pulsatile vessel was seen at the defect. Endoscopic obturation with tissue adhesive was performed to treat the defect and the bleeding was successfully stopped. No recurrence of bleeding was observed through a gastric tube, and 6 days after endoscopic obturation, the patient underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. Endoscopic obturation with tissue adhesive is a feasible and effective method to treat bleeding GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. This case report highlights the necessity of early surgical intervention in such cases to avoid mortality due to bleeding and to raise the awareness of rare causes of upper gastrointestinal bleed and their management. A 19 year old male presented in the surgery department of Shaheed Suhrawardy medical College Hospital with complaints of recurrent episodes of melena with anorexia and weight loss for 6 months. Apart from anaemia no significant findings were noted on physical examination. Investigations including upper GI endoscopy was not conclusive. So he underwent laparotomy which revealed an exophytic growth along the lesser curvature. Lower partial gastrectomy was done and histopathological and immunohistochemistry report showed evidence of benign low risk GIST. As the tumor was benign with no malignant potential imatinib therapy was not advocated. J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll 2020; 12(2): 119-122

Since 2010, we have used single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for patients with a gastric submucosal tumor, as a less invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopy. From September 2010 to January 2011, five patients underwent a local resection for a gastric submucosal tumor using a SILS™ port at Keio University Hospital. We performed partial gastrectomy via the SILS™ port using a 5 mm flexible endoscope, a vessel sealing system, and a stapling device. There were no major intraoperative complications, conversion to laparotomy, or cases of tumor rapture. The average operative time was 89 (range, 72–129) minutes with minimal blood loss. Pathological examination revealed four cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and one case of inflammatory fibrosis caused by nonspecific inflammation. Although we examined only a small number of cases in this study, the results suggested that SILS gastrectomy can be performed safely and effectively for gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Abstract Background Peptic ulcer occurring in the gastric tube after esophagectomy sometimes penetrates into the mediastinal structures. We reported a case of sternal penetration of gastric tube ulcer successfully treated. Methods A CASE REPORT: Results A 73-years-old man who had undergone video-assisted thracoscopic esophagectomy (VATS) with 3-field lymphadenectomy reconstructed by retrosternal route after neoadjuvant chemo-radiation therapy. He visited outpatient complaining mild pain and redness of skin on anterior chest wall after 7 months of esophagectomy. Computed tomography (CT) revealed gastric tube ulcer penetrated into sternum. Upper GI endoscopy showed active ulcer in lower gastric tube. Biopsy was confirmed no malignant cell but bone tissues. He was admitted and started medication of proton pomp inhibiter and nutritional therapy. After 1 month he was improved symptoms and endoscopic findings. Conclusion There was a rare case of penetration into sternum due to gastric tube ulcer. In the literatures, 4 cases were reported about penetration into sternum. All four cases had symptoms of pain and redness of skin and were diagnosed with upper GI endoscopy and CT. Two cases underwent surgery and another cases were treated conservational therapy.

We report a case of a 40-year-old female who presented with dyspeptic symptoms for six months. Upper GI endoscopy revealed a submucosal nodule in gastric antrum. Using “jumbo biopsy unroofing technique” we were able to get adequate tissue for analysis. Histopathology revealed a type III gastric carcinoid. Patient was treated with laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and partial omentectomy. Although there was no evidence of metastasis on initial presentation, eighteen months later, patient was found to have multiple metastatic lesions in her liver. Patient’s lesions were treated withintra-arterial (hepatic artery) Yttrium-90.

Retrograde  jejunogastric   intussusception (RJGI)   is   a   rare   but    potentially   very   serious complication of gastrojejunostomy or partial gastrectomy. Around 200 cases have been reported in literature till now. This paper reports two cases of RJGI of efferent loops developed 20 years and 10 years after gastrojejunostomy of a 70 years and 78 years old man respectively. Both the patients presented with sudden ab dominal  pain and hematemesis. Upper GI-endoscopy established the diagnosis. On emergency basis laparotomy was done and intussusception was reduced through gastrotomy. Efferent loop was found viable in case no 01, but gangrenous in case no 02, where resection was done. In both the cases the efferent loops were fixed to anterior parietal wall to prevent recurrence. Postoperative recovery were uneventful except minor superficial wound infection in the second case.TAJ 2009; 22(1): 257-260

AbstractReports of gastric collision tumors, comprising adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor, are extremely rare. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old male who was diagnosed with a lower-body, moderately differentiated, tubular-type adenocarcinoma and submucosal tumor and underwent an elective D2 distal gastrectomy. The tumor cells of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor were positive for H-caldesmon and CD117, weakly positive for smooth muscle actin and DOG-1, and negative for desmin, S-100 protein, CD31, and AE1/AE3. The tumor had grown into a mixed form of adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Thus, we report the first case of a preoperatively diagnosed collision tumor in the stomach consisting of adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
