Abstract
Background and aim: gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps constitute only 0.1 % of all gastric polyps. They are usually amenable to resection by snare polypectomy. However, on rare occasions, these lesions may require resection by endoscopic submucosal dissection. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection in the management of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps not amenable to resection with snare polypectomy. Methods: a retrospective observational study of all consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps between January 2011 and December 2020 was performed. Results: there were nine cases of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Most patients were female (7/9) with a mean age of 62.2 years. All gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps were described as solitary antral subepithelial lesions with a mean diameter of 16.7 mm, which appeared well-circumscribed and homogeneous lesions located at muscularis mucosa and submucosa without deeper invasion on endoscopic ultrasound. All lesions were successfully resected by en bloc and complete resection with free margins obtained in 8/9 specimens. Adverse events were reported in 2/9 cases including one intra-procedural bleeding successfully controlled with hemostatic clips and one aspiration pneumonia that evolved favorably. Mean follow-up duration was 33.7 months and no delayed complications or cases of recurrence were reported. Conclusions: endoscopic submucosal dissection appears safe and effective for the resection of gastric inflammatory fibroid polyps that present as large subepithelial lesions, if performed by experienced endoscopists after adequate characterization by endoscopic ultrasound, with high rates of technical success and low recurrence rates.
