Abstract

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.
