Subepithelial lesions (SELs) are common findings in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They are often benign and asymptomatic but can cause symptoms in some cases. The approach to endoscopic management of these lesions depends on various factors, including associated symptoms, location, available equipment, and operator expertise. In this case report, we present a 50-year-old male with long-standing dyspepsia who was found to have a submucosal lesion in the stomach. The lesion was successfully treated using the bite-on-bite method with cold biopsy forceps. This report aims to discuss gastric subepithelial lesions and current management options, and highlight an old technique for endoscopists in the era of advanced endoscopy.
上皮下病变(SELs)是胃肠道(GI)常见的表现。它们通常为良性且无症状,但在某些情况下可能会引起症状。对这些病变进行内镜治疗的方法取决于多种因素,包括相关症状、位置、可用设备以及操作者的专业技能。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名50岁男性,有长期消化不良症状,经检查发现胃内有一个黏膜下病变。该病变通过使用冷活检钳的逐块咬除法成功治疗。本报告旨在讨论胃上皮下病变及当前的治疗选择,并强调在先进内镜时代对内镜医师而言的一种古老技术。
