Gastric lymphangioma, a rare benign tumor, can be diagnosed using gastrofiberscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography. Endoscopic resection offers a safe and effective treatment, particularly for smaller tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Gastric lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor originating from lymphatic vessels within the stomach.
  • It presents as a submucosal lesion, often visualized during gastrofiberscopy.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old woman presented with persistent nausea and epigastric discomfort.
  • Gastrofiberscopy revealed a submucosal gastric tumor.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) aided in characterizing the lesion.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with gastric lymphangioma.
  • Endoscopic ultrasonography proved essential for differentiating this tumor from other gastric lesions.

  • The tumor was successfully treated via endoscopic resection using a strip biopsy technique.

    • Implications:

    • Endoscopic resection is a safe and effective treatment modality for gastric lymphangioma, especially for smaller lesions.
    • This minimally invasive approach facilitates both diagnosis and treatment.
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely intervention can improve patient outcomes for this rare condition.
