Article Synopsis
- Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) poses diagnostic challenges, necessitating endoscopic exams to check for chronic diarrhea, polyposis, and inflammation in polyps.* -
- A study highlighted seven CCS cases, involving four men and three women aged 48-72, all of whom were Asian, with chronic diarrhea as the main symptom.* -
- CCS carries a significant risk of malignant gastrointestinal conditions, particularly rectal cancer, requiring ongoing surveillance and monitoring through endoscopy.*
Objectives: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is effective for the resection of colorectal intramucosal lesions. This study was performed to examine the safety and effectiveness of using dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the anesthesia regimen of patients with colorectal lesions undergoing ESD.
Methods: We retrospectively examined 287 consecutive patients who underwent ESD for colorectal lesions in our institution from January 2015 to December 2021.
Herein, we report two rare basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) cases. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor-like lesion and a biopsied specimen showed a finding suspected of BSCC in both cases. Both lesions underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection with en bloc resection, and long-term survival was achieved using additional chemoradiotherapy.

Background And Aim: Whether administration of antispasmodics as a component of premedication contributes to detection of lesions by screening esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) remains unclear. Our primary aim was to investigate this possibility.
Methods: The cohort in this retrospective study comprised consecutive asymptomatic individuals who had undergone screening EGDS as part of a health check-up at the Japanese Red Cross Wakayama Medical Center from October 2015 to September 2020.
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign inflammatory vascular lesion rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract and a possible cause of bleeding. Polypectomy using a detachable snare for esophageal PG with active bleeding is an effective treatment.
