Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resetion (Ster) With Endoscopic Suture for the Treatment of A Gastric Submucosal Lesion

Background and clinical case Male patient with a 20 x11 mm gastric antral submucosal lesion not defined by EUS-FNA with immunohistochemistry Considering a GIST as a possible diagnosis endoscopic resection was decided.

Endoscopic findings STER was performed allowing dissection of the lesion and snare extraction. Given the mucosotomy done, we decided to close the gap using endoscopic suturing technique (Apollo) after the procedure. Histological examination showed a heterotopic pancreas; hence the patient needs no subsequent following.

Conclusions STER may be an option for endoscopic resection of submucosal lesions. Mucosotomy closure with endoscopic suturing is an option in this technique.
