A Case of Gastric Atypical Lipomatous Tumor/Well‐Differentiated Liposarcoma With Endoscopic Morphological Changes

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Atypical lipomatous tumor/well‐differentiated liposarcoma is a locally aggressive mesenchymal neoplasm composed of adipocytes and stromal cells. Gastric cases are exceedingly rare, and their malignant potential remains unclear. We report a case of a woman in her 60s who was found to have multiple submucosal tumor‐like lesions of the stomach ...

Underwater Pressure Lumen Expansion: A Novel Method to Overcome Lumen Collapse in Submucosal Endoscopy and Animal Endoscopic Full‐thickness Resection Models

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In endoscopic full‐thickness resection (EFTR), luminal collapse can occur due to communication between the gastrointestinal lumen and peritoneal cavity, making visualization and procedural continuity difficult. We propose the underwater pressure lumen expansion (UPLE) method, in which hydraulic pressure is applied in a fluid‐filled environment

Endoscopic Full‐thickness Resection for Gastric Submucosal Tumor: A Technical Analysis Study (With Video)

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic full‐thickness resection (EFTR) is an effective treatment method for gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). We aimed to perform a technical analysis of EFTR in gastric SMT and compare it with the outcome parameters. Method Sixty‐one gastric SMTs from 60 patients were resected using EFTR. The indication criteria: size, 11–30 mm,

Patients with uterine leiomyoma exhibit a high incidence but low mortality rate for breast cancer

open access: yesOncoTarget, 2017
The association of uterine leiomyoma with increased risk of breast cancer is controversial. Therefore, we used the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan to examine breast cancer incidence and mortality among Asian patients with and ...

Successful Endoscopic Excision for a Rapidly Enlarging Esophageal Histopathologically Unclassified Subepithelial Lesion: A Case Report

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A 75‐year‐old man presented with an esophageal subepithelial lesion (SEL) measuring 2.5 cm, first identified over a decade ago. The patient was followed up regularly with computed tomography and endoscopy and remained asymptomatic since then. However, over the past year, the patient developed dysphagia, and endoscopic evaluation revealed that ...

COULD THE ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION OF A LARGE RECTAL LEIOMYOMA BE AN EFFETCIVE AND SAFE TECHNIQUE? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Summary. Rectal leiomyomas are a rare conditions, with low reported incidence in literature and constitute about 0.1% of rectal tumours; in fact rectal leiomyomas occur in approximately 1 out of 2000-3000 rectal tumors. We report on a patient with a 3 cm
