Endoscopic full-thickness resection of a gastric schwannoma

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 Mar;114(3):173. doi: 10.17235/reed.2021.8385/2021.

Abstract

A 69-year-old male was referred to our center for further evaluation and treatment of a gastric mass. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy found a 30-mm submucosal tumor (SMT) in the gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic lesion originating from the muscularis propria layer. Computed tomography showed that the tumor presented a predominately intraluminal growth pattern.
