Endoscopic ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection for treatment of colorectal cavernous hemangioma: Two case reports.

Background: Colorectal cavernous hemangioma is a rare vascular malformation resulting in recurrent lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and can be misinterpreted as colitis. Surgical resection is currently the mainstay of treatment, with an emphasis on sphincter preservation.

Case Summary: We present details of two young patients with a history of persistent hematochezia diagnosed with colorectal cavernous hemangioma by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).

Gastric metastasis presenting as submucosa tumors from renal cell carcinoma: A case report.

Background: Gastric metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an extremely rare clinical entity. Due to an easily neglected RCC history, nonspecific symptoms and under-recognized endoscopic presentation may lead to a potential diagnostic pitfall in daily clinical practice.

Case Summary: We present a case of metastatic gastric tumors arising from RCC 5 years after radical nephrectomy.

Multiple gastric angiolipomas: A case report.

Background: Angiolipoma is a benign tumor and is generally found in subcutaneous tissues. Angiolipomas are rare in the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach. Preoperative diagnosis of the tumor is difficult, although there are several radiological examinations such as computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound.

Large heterotopic gastric mucosa and a concomitant diverticulum in the rectum: Clinical experience and endoscopic management.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) in the rectum is an extremely rare clinical entity which may be missed or misdiagnosed due to a lack of knowledge. In the present study, a 14-year-old girl visited our hospital due to a 5-year history of repeated hematochezia. Colonoscopy showed a solitary superficial depressed lesion approximately 5 cm in size and a concomitant 1.

A spontaneous hematoma arising within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen: A case report and literature review.

Rational: Hematoma arising within an intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is an extremely rare pathological entity.

Patient Concern: We present the case of a 39-year-old man with acute abdominal pain.

Diagnoses: The patient was initially diagnosed as pancreatic cystic neoplasm according to CT and MRI imaging.

Double-balloon enteroscopy in small bowel diseases: Eight years single-center experience in China.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of double-balloon entoroscopy (DBE) in small bowel diseases (SBDs) in China.A retrospective review of 674 consecutive patients who underwent DBE between January 2007 and November 2015 was conducted. Patients were divided into 3 groups by age, young group (<45 years), middle-aged group (45-65 years), and elderly group (>65 years).

Hepatitis C Virus Infection Is Positively Associated with Gallstones in Liver Cirrhosis.

Aim: To elucidate the prevalence and risk factors of gallstone disease (GD) among patients with liver disease and explore their association with the aetiology and severity of hepatic injury.

Methods: We analysed 4,832 subjects of hepatic injury induced by one of the following aetiologies: hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, excessive alcohol consumption. The risk factors significantly associated with GD were analysed using stepwise logistic regression analysis, the influence of aetiology and severity of liver disease on the prevalence of GD were assessed by multiple logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounding factors.

Clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain and T-cell receptor γ gene rearrangements in primary gastric lymphoma.

Aim: To study the diagnostic value of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and T-cell receptor γ (TCR-γ) gene monoclonal rearrangements in primary gastric lymphoma (PGL).

Methods: A total of 48 patients with suspected PGL at our hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study from January 2009 to December 2011. The patients were divided into three groups (a PGL group, a gastric linitis plastica group, and a benign gastric ulcer group) based on the pathological results (gastric mucosal specimens obtained by endoscopy or surgery) and follow-up.

Double-balloon enteroscopy in small bowel tumors: a Chinese single-center study.

Aim: To analyze the clinical characteristics of small bowel tumors detected by double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and to evaluate the diagnostic value of DBE in tumors.

Methods: Four hundred and forty consecutive DBE examinations were performed in 400 patients (250 males and 150 females, mean age 46.9 ± 16.

[Double balloon endoscopy in diagnosis of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding].

Objective: To assess the diagnostic value of double balloon endoscopy (DBE) for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) METHODS: The data of 103 OGIB patients who underwent DBE from January 2007 to September 2010 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: DBE was successfully performed in all 103 patients without complications. Of 103 patients, 66(64.

Double-balloon enteroscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding: a single center experience in China.

Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic value of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).

Methods: The data about 75 OGIB patients who underwent DBE in January 2007-June 2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: DBE was successfully performed in all 75 patients without complication.
