Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection including papilla (ESDIP) was developed to improve outcomes for patients with duodenal tumors, addressing issues like lesion size and local recurrence that are common with endoscopic papillectomy (EP).
- A study of 54 patients from 2010 to 2024 showed that ESDIP had a high success rate, with 96% of resections completed and a low overall recurrence rate of 15% after one year.
- While some complications occurred, such as intraprocedural perforation and delayed bleeding, the approach remains a promising low-invasive alternative to more extensive surgeries like pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Background: Sunitinib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been approved for the salvage treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a rare but severe complication of sunitinib use. Here, we present the case of a 66-year-old male with metastatic GIST without underlying liver cirrhosis who developed sunitinib-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy.
