Abstract

Subepithelial lesions are considered a great concern for doctors, gastroenterologists and endoscopists, since there is a high frequency of diagnosing during the practice of routine endoscopies. Its causes can be due to both intrinsic lesions of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract (benign or malignant) and extrinsic compressions caused by normal or pathological structures. The majority of lesions are of benign origin, however, there is a percentage between 12 to 15% of lesions that could be of malignant origin, so timely diagnosis is of great importance for adequate treatment.


General objective: to describe the different endoscopic techniques for the management of subepithelial lesions of the stomach.


Methodology: literature review. Health databases such as Cochrane, PubMed, Dialnet, Cinahl, Scopus, etc. will be searched. Key words such as "endoscopy", "endosonography", "stomach", "gastrointestinal stromal tumors" will be used in English and Spanish. Boolean operators will be used to improve searches: "AND" and "OR"
