Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), the standard treatment for early gastric cancer, typically results in homogeneous flat scars. However, in some cases, polypoid nodule scars (PNS) may develop, complicating the cancer recurrence assessment. This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a history of infection who underwent two ESD procedures: first for early antral gastric cancer and then for gastric body adenoma.

Characteristic findings on computed tomography and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of gastric antral vascular ectasia. This case highlights the importance of endoscopic surveillance in refractory anemia, even when other causes of anemia are present, and emphasizes the need for clinicians to remain vigilant for easily overlooked signs on computed tomography.

Background: Gastric xanthelasma is a rare, benign lesion with uncertain clinical significance. Despite its asymptomatic nature, it may coexist with conditions like chronic gastritis and iron deficiency anemia.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old Turkish male presented with iron deficiency anemia, chronic fatigue, and upper abdominal pain.
Background: Chronic gastroduodenal symptoms arise from heterogenous gastric motor dysfunctions. This study applied multimodal physiological testing using gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) with intragastric meal distribution (IMD) and Gastric Alimetry® body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) to define motility and symptom associations.
Methods: Patients with chronic gastroduodenal symptoms underwent simultaneous supine GES and BSGM with 30 m baseline, 99mTC-labelled egg meal, and 4 h postprandial recording.

Rationale: Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. It presents challenges in both diagnosis and treatment.
Patient Concern: We reported a female patient who was initially misdiagnosed with hemorrhage of the digestive tract.
