A case of stomach carcinoma showing the features of a submucosal tumor (SMT) is reported. The patient was a 65-year-old woman admitted to the Internal Medicine Department with autoimmune hepatitis and complaining of anemia and tarry stools. Endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor-like lesion with central ulceration. The lesion was the suspected cause of the anemia; therefore, a partial resection of the stomach was performed. The histopathologic examination revealed a mucinous adenocarcinoma (MUC). The tumor extended to the submucosa. Accordingly, a subtotal gastrectomy with regional lymph node dissection was performed. In stomach carcinoma simulating an SMT, generally preoperative diagnosis is important. However, in this patient, surgery was selected as the best treatment.

Background: Ultra-low rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) presents technical challenges due to anatomical features. The objective of this research was to determine the risk factors linked to unsuccessful curative resections and to create a nomogram predictive model to assess the likelihood of encountering technical challenges.
Methods: Patients with ultra-low rectal tumors received ESD form June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled.

The term "gossypiboma" or "textiloma" is used to describe a mass of retained cotton matrix and the surrounding inflammatory response inside a body cavity following surgical intervention. The precise incidence of this phenomenon is uncertain, as cases are frequently underreported due to concerns related to medical malpractice. This rare complication poses a diagnostic dilemma due to the non-specific clinical and radiological features, which can result in significant morbidity and mortality.

Granular cell tumors are rare neoplasms originating from Schwann cells found in various organs. GCTs are seldom reported in the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-operative detection and diagnosis of colonic GCTs is challenging since the tumors are mainly asymptomatic, small, slow-growing, and submucosal.

Background: Esophageal stricture ranks among the most significant complications following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Excessive fibrotic repair is a typical pathological feature leading to stenosis after ESD.
Aim: To examine the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of Kangfuxin solution (KFX) in mitigating excessive fibrotic repair of the esophagus post-ESD.
Objectives: Recently, various endoscopic treatments for colorectal polyps have been reported, including cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR), in addition to EMR. However, a precise treatment strategy for sessile serrated lesions (SSL) has not been established. In this study, we analyzed the clinicopathological features of SSL resected by EMR, CSP, and UEMR to determine the most suitable treatment for SSL.
