Article Synopsis
- A 50-year-old woman was admitted for mild throat discomfort, and medical tests revealed small whitish granules in her hypopharynx and esophagus.
- Initial biopsies suggested normal tissue or mild dysplasia, but S-100 staining eventually confirmed the presence of multiple solitary neurofibromas in these areas.
- The study emphasized the importance of obtaining biopsies from various locations over time, and highlighted the need for collaboration between endoscopists and pathologists for accurate diagnosis using immunohistochemical techniques.
Background And Aim: Hemorrhage is often encountered after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In addition to active bleeding after resection, exposed blood vessels and blood clots without active bleeding on the post-dissection ulcer floor have been recognized within our department. We consider exposed and/or observable vessel findings and clots on the ulcer floor after re-section as important risk factors for hemorrhage.
