Background: Tumors located in the pylorus are technically more complex to resect by endoscopic resection, as the anatomical characteristics of this region can affect the adequate assessment of margins and performance of the procedure. We reported the results of underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) of benign mucosal neoplasms located in the pyloric ring.

Case Summary: This case series describes 4 patients with 4 mucosal neoplasms located in the pyloric ring. The diameter of each neoplasm was less than 15 mm. We performed UEMR for the lesions. Water immersion enabled slight floating of the lesions, resulting in easy identification. We achieved en bloc resection with a snare and electrosurgical unit. All procedure were performed within 3 min without adverse events. Pathologic examination showed low-grade dysplasia with clear resection margins in one case and hyperplastic polyps in three cases.

Conclusion: UEMR can be an effective and safe treatment method for neoplasms in the gastric pyloric ring.

Background: Predicting successful outcomes of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is essential for identifying patients who are most likely to benefit from the procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the balloon dilation test (BDT) in optimizing patient selection for G-POEM.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from February 2021 to December 2023, including patients with refractory gastroparesis unresponsive to conventional medical treatments.

Prepyloric gastric antral muscular ring in an infant.

Clin J Gastroenterol

October 2024

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook, NY, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a rare case of a prepyloric gastric muscular ring, which differs from the more commonly documented gastric webs, highlighting a lack of literature on this condition.
  • It notes that most known gastric outlet obstructions in neonates are attributed to pyloric stenosis, leading to a limited consideration of other conditions like muscular rings.
  • The authors suggest that the term "gastric ring" should specify the muscular nature to avoid confusion with submucosal or mucosal types in medical discussions.

Rationale: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) frequently invades nearby lymph nodes, the liver, and lungs. The liver and lungs are also common anatomic sites for the first recurrence of CCA. However, metastasis to the brain is exceptionally rare.
