Small bowel lesions located in long and multiple complex loop configurations were difficult to diagnose early because of vague clinical manifestations and because of the poor diagnostic yield of conventional examination methods. In this setting, double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) was an epoch-making diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the management of patients with small bowel disease. Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE), lacking a balloon at the endoscopic tip, is also a useful method for investigating and managing suspected small bowel lesions. Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the small bowel is relatively uncommon and remains a localized disease for long periods in most patients. Recently, we experienced a case of advanced-stage MALT lymphoma in the jejunum. A 60-year old female, with a history of anemia of unknown etiology and who was suspected of having a small bowel lesion, presented with complaints of vague abdominal pain and dizziness. She had undergone SBE via the oral route. She was diagnosed with MALT lymphoma of the jejunum and treated with medical management.

Glomus tumors are benign lesions that originate from modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body. These tumors are commonly observed in the dermis or subcutis, but they are only rarely found in the stomach. We describe here a 37-year- old male patient who presented with intermittent epigastric pain and in whom a submucosal tumor was encountered during performance of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. A gastrofibroscopy demonstrated a 12 mm sized submucosal mass with central ulceration on the greater curvature-posterior wall of the high body. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a circumscribed inhomogeneneous hypo- echoic mass with a focal hyperechoic mass in the third layer of the stomach. We resected the entire mass using an endoscopic resection technique, and there were no complications. Histologically, the tumor cells had uniform small nucleuses with inconspicuous nucleoli. Immunochemical analysis of the tumor cells showed positivity for smooth muscle actin and negativity for CD34, KIT, S100 protein and desmin. This is the first case of a glomus tumor of the stomach that was resected by endoscopic resection.
