Gastric lipomas are rare benign tumors and account for 1-3% of all benign gastric tumors. Majority of the gastric lipomas are asymptomatic and do not demand resection. However, large gastric lipomas may present with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and more rarely gastric outlet obstruction. Traditionally, surgery has been utilized for the management of giant gastric lipomas. More recently, endoscopic techniques are increasingly utilized for the resection of gastric submucosal lesions. Here we describe a case with large gastric lipoma who presented with symptoms suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction. Gastroscopy revealed a large (6 cm) submucosal lesion with a broad peduncle located in antrum. The tumor was prolapsing into duodenum thereby, completing occluding the pylorus. In this case, we performed endoscopic submucosal dissection using a novel, bipolar radiofrequency device. The dissection was completed without any complication.

A male patient presented with seven days history of severe epigastric colicky pain and vomiting. The patient was anxious and dehydrated. Blood tests and ultrasound reports were unremarkable. . Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy revealed a strip of capsule impacted at pyloric ring which was removed endoscopically and the patient became symptom free.

Összefoglaló. A Bouveret-szindróma egy bilioenteralis fistulán keresztül a vékonybélbe – az esetek 85%-ában a duodenumba – jutó nagy epekő okozta bélelzáródást jelenti. Leggyakrabban idős nők körében fordul elő. Jelen közleményünk célja e kórkép tüneteinek, diagnosztikájának és terápiás lehetőségeinek ismertetése egy esetbemutatás kapcsán. A 79 éves nőbeteg felvételi hasi panaszainak hátterében típusos gyomorkimenet-obstrukciós szindrómát okozó, a duodenumban beékelődött epekő, Bouveret-szindróma igazolódott. A diagnózist az elvégzett natív hasi röntgen és hasi ultrahangvizsgálatok már felvetették, de megerősítésére további képalkotó vizsgálatot (hasi CT) és endoszkópos beavatkozást végeztünk. Ezt követően sebészeti beavatkozás történt, melynek során a cholecystoduodenalis fistula zárása és az epekő eltávolítása után a beteg gyógyultan távozott. Közleményünkben a diagnózisfelállítás idejének fontosságáról, illetve a terápiás lehetőségekről számolunk be, valamint szeretnénk felhívni a figyelmet az epekő okozta gyomorürülési zavar ezen ritka formájára.

Bouveret syndrome is a rare form of bowel obstruction resulting to the small intestine – in 85% of the cases to the duodenum – caused by a gallstone from a bilioenteral fistula. It occurs most commonly in elderly women. The aim of the present study is to describe the symptoms, diagnostic and therapeutic options of Bouveret syndrome due to our case report. The background of epigastric pain of the 79-year-old woman was the typical gastric outlet obstruction syndrome caused by Bouveret syndrome with an impacted gallstone into the duodenum. This diagnosis was suggested by abdominal X-ray and abdominal ultrasound; however, it was confirmed with abdominal computer tomography and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. This was followed by surgical intervention to close the cholecystoduodenal fistula and remove the gallstone, finally the cured patient was discharged. In our study, we summarize the importance of timely diagnosis and therapeutic options, respectively, furthermore, draw attention to this rare form of gallstone-caused gastric outlet obstruction syndrome.

Medication bezoars are rare and are composed of medications and/or medication vehicles. Rarely, medication bezoars can cause serious problems due to complications such as perforation, obstruction, haemorrhage. A 60 years old woman presented with 10 days history of epigastric pain, weakness and postprandial non-bilious vomiting. Her abdominal ultrasonography showed strong post acoustic shadow noted within 1st part of duodenum possibly foreign body. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed and a bezoar of tablet of aluminum hydroxide was extracted. The patient had uneventful recovery. Acute gastric outlet obstruction is relatively uncommon and mostly due to foreign bodies related to food impaction, with meat being the most frequent culprit. The diagnostic approach to acute gastric outlet obstruction is similar to other cause of GOO. However, therapeutic options differ for each patient. The diagnosis should be made in prompt time to prevent life threatening complications due obstruction and/or effect of medication forming bezoar.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2015; 33(3): 177-180
