Comparison of hemostatic ability between spray coagulation and forced coagulation modes in endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with early gastric neoplasms: a study protocol for multicenter randomized controlled trial (Spray-G trial).

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard treatment for early gastric neoplasms (EGN). Controlling intraoperative bleeding is crucial for ensuring safe and reliable procedures. ESD using the spray coagulation mode (SCM-ESD) has been developed to control bleeding more effectively than ESD using the conventional forced coagulation mode (FCM-ESD).

An adult case of congenital duodenal diaphragm that was successfully treated by endoscopic resection using a grasping-type scissor forceps.

Congenital duodenal diaphragm (CDD) is a rare disease that is usually diagnosed in the neonatal period; however, it is sometimes diagnosed later in the adult period. A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to tarry stool and anemia. Emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed an obstructing membranous structure with a small orifice in the second portion of the duodenum, together with dilatation of the bulbar part.

Gastric Hyperplastic Polyp with Xanthoma Observed by Magnification Narrow-Band Imaging Endoscopy and Endoscopic Ultrasonography : Report of a Case.

We experienced an extremely rare case of gastric hyperplastic polyp with xanthoma. A 73-year-old Japanese man was transferred to our hospital from a referral hospital for further evaluation of a pedunculated gastric polyp and early gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a yellow-whitish pedunculated polyp arising from the anterior wall of the fornix.

[A case of ectopic hepatocellular carcinoma].

A 47-year-old otherwise healthy woman, presented elevation of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) levels at a general health checkup. Both HCV antibody and hepatitis B surface antigen were negative. A screening abdominal CT revealed no abnormal change.
