Rationale: Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve tumors originating from Schwann cells, primarily occurring in the head and neck, limbs, and trunk. Schwannomas occurring in the mesocolon are rare and often have no specific manifestations. Abdominal schwannomas need to be differentiated from common abdominal tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Background/aims: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are common gastric mesenchymal tumors that are potentially malignant. However, endoscopic ultrasonography is poor in diagnosing gastrointestinal stromal tumors. The study investigated the efficacy of texture features extracted from endoscopic ultrasonography images to differentiate gastrointestinal stromal tumors from gastric mesenchymal tumors.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal schwannomas are most commonly found in the stomach. Owing to their nonspecific clinical and endoscopic presentations, distinguishing gastric schwannomas (GS) from other gastric submucosal tumors based on typical symptoms and endoscopic features is challenging. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is safe and effective for GS management; however, no standard method exists for the extraction of large gastric specimens after endoscopic treatment.

Background And Aims: This pilot study aimed to evaluate safety and tissue sampling from subepithelial lesions (SEL) in the upper gastrointestinal tract with a novel electric motor driven endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided 17-gauge (G) size core needle biopsy (CNB) instrument.
Methods: An investigator-led prospective open label, performance and safety control study, including seven patients (female = 4, median 71 y, range 28-75) with a determined SEL (median size 30 mm, range 17-150 mm) in the upper digestive tract (stomach = 6, duodenum = 1) were eligible and later followed up 14 days after index procedure. All investigations were completed according to protocol with three FNB 22-G passes with four fanning strokes and two EndoDrill 17-G passes with three fanning strokes.
