AI Article Synopsis
- Gastric masses vary widely in appearance and can be tricky to diagnose before surgery, with benign masses potentially being malignant and vice versa.
- Common types of gastric masses include peptic ulcers, adenocarcinomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, each requiring different treatment approaches.
- The case discussed illustrates this diagnostic challenge, where a mass suspected to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor turned out to be a benign ulcerated hematoma after pathology analysis.
Article Abstract
Gastric masses can be challenging to diagnose pre-operatively due to their heterogeneity in presentation and work-up. One must be cautious that a seemingly benign mass may be malignant and vice versa. Some of the more common gastric masses include peptic ulcer, adenocarcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumour. These diagnoses have vastly different management strategies despite similar presentations. The case presented here is an example of this management, highlighting a patient with a gastric bleeding mass initially thought to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumour. However, on final pathology, the mass was determined to be benign, an ulcerated hematoma.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, low-grade malignant condition that typically affects women of childbearing age and primarily involves the lungs. While cases involving males and affecting the gastrointestinal tract are exceedingly uncommon. This report discusses an unusual case of abdominal LAM in a male patient with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Rapunzel syndrome is a rare and severe form of trichobezoar, characterized by the presence of hair masses in the stomach that often extend into the bowel, resembling the legendary "Rapunzel's" long hair. : This review examines the clinical, diagnostic, forensic, and post-mortem aspects associated with Rapunzel syndrome, with a focus on cases resulting in mortality or those at high risk of death due to complications. In particular, the review systematically analyzes the existing literature on fatal cases of Rapunzel syndrome, emphasizing insights into risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, autopsy findings, and preventive measures to provide a focused understanding of these critical aspects.

Whereas pancreatic masses are often difficult to detect with transabdominal ultrasound, cross-sectional imaging features high sensitivity for the pancreatic tumors. However, increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to a surge in the detection of benign or precancerous pancreatic lesions. The medical history is characteristic only for two entities.

Purpose: A noninvasive method for evaluating the infiltration of CD8 T cells in tumors is urgently needed to monitor the response to immunotherapy. This study investigated the performance of a [Ga]Ga-NODAGA-SNA006 in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of CD8 T cells in patients with solid malignancies.
Methods: This human dose-escalation PET imaging study involved eleven patients (lung cancer, 8; gastric carcinoma, 1; esophageal carcinoma, 2).
