Abstract

Two cases of gastric submucosal tumor and one case of esophageal submucosal tumor, which were resected via endoscopy are reported. In all cases, endoscopic ultrasonography was capable of visualizing that the tumor was located in, but not beyond, the submucosal layer, indicating that endoscopic resection of the tumor was safe. Pathological examination after removal led to the diagnosis of “aberrant pancreas” in case 1, “Inflammatory fibroid polyp” in case 2 and “leiomyoma” in case 3. We emphasize that endoscopic ultrasonography can pic up good candidates for endoscopic resection of submucosal tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
