Cold snare unmasking as a one-stop-shop procedure for an unequivocal (tissue) diagnosis of gastric lipomas lacking characteristic findings on standard endoscopy.

Abstract

To the Editor: Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are common in endoscopy practice. Clinical management depends on multiple factors including tissue diagnosis and thus assessment of malignant potential. While current guideline recommendations prioritize endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) characterization with or without puncture, a one-stop-shop approach to be implemented during index esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) may streamline
