Abstract
PADILLA-HERRERA, Cristina; SUAREZ, Liliana María; GUEVARA, Raúl Enrique and BARRIGA, Juan Carlos. Unusual gastric tumors: Glomus tumor, schwannoma, leiomyoma, and cystadenoma in ectopic pancreas. A case report and literature review. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.4, pp.463-472. Epub Apr 20, 2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.716.
Introduction:
Gastric pathology is exceptionally benign with a percentage of appearance between 0.005% - 4% worldwide. Moreover, gastric carcinoma is often suggested as the first differential diagnosis and for that reason, the outcome for a vast majority of admitted patients is a major surgical procedure. This study aims to describe a series of cases recorded in a high complexity medical institution and to carry out a literature review related to that subject.
Patients and Methods:
Databases from the general surgery service of the Clínica Universitaria Colombia were reviewed, and four unusual gastric tumors were found. A review of the related medical records and available images (diagnostic images and surgical elements) was performed.
Results:
After the database review, four cases were found: two female cases and two male cases, with a mean age of 51 years (26-75 years). All the patients had lesions in the antrum area and only one of them has an additional lesion in the prepyloric region. All patients were treated with a laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and the mean length of hospital stay was 3.5 days (2-6 days).
Conclusion:
It is required to consider the endoscopic, endosonographic, and histological examinations and their features to determine the best treatment for patients with gastric lesions.
