Benign tumors of oesophagus: value of endoscopy.

Endoscopic examination carried out in 20,000 patients allowed 7 benign tumors of the oesophagus to be detected. Four of them were intramural tumors corresponding to leiomyomas. Guided biopsies are not sufficient to assure an accurate diagnosis, but a mucosal lesion, particularly a carcinoma, should be ruled out. Endoscopic resection of the 3 intraluminal tumours was performed without incidents, allowing an accurate histologic diagnosis and a reasonable therapeutic approach. Endoscopic supervision is necessary in case of epithelial tumors.

Diffuse varioliform gastritis.

During 8 years experience, 90 cases of diffuse varioliform gastritis were observed (0.3% of examinations). Symptoms suggest either the presence of a gastroduodenal ulcer or of a digestive carcinoma when weight loss is prevalent. The disease proceeds by subacute evolutive bouts with remissions and further relapses. At endoscopy, lesions associate large folds in the fundus and erosive mucosal bulgings disseminated in the fundus and antrum. Histological alterations correspond to a superficial hyperplasic gastritis. Cellular infiltration of the lamina propria includes increased immunocytes population with an abnormal distribution of immunoglobulin classes. An increased percentage of IgE cells characterizes the disease as compared to inflammation in atrophic gastritis. Therapy is based upon agent inhibiting mastocytes degranulation and histamine antagonists. Diffuse varioliform gastritis must be separated from antral varioliform gastritis, a lesion with a higher frequency but no symptomatic individuality.
