Fiberendoscopic removal of long foreign bodies from the stomach using a colon stiffening tube as a protective sheath.

Benign retroperitoneal emphysema associated with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
It is important to realize that retroperitoneal emphysema may be seen as a complication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Because of the increased frequency of endoscopic and associated procedures, it is important to realize that these striking roentgenographic findings may be associated with a benign clinical condition that will resolve with expectant management alone. Clinically, we might be forced to differentiate this complication with pathological perforation from the original lesion or with free perforation by the instrument depending on the clinical conditions.

Metastatic melanoma of the stomach: the endoscopic and roentgenographic findings and review of the literature.
A case of metastatic melanoma of the stomach is reported with illustrative endoscopic and radiographic findings. Metastatic melanoma of the stomach may present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain, or gastrointestinal bleeding. A history of melanoma may not be readily obtainable. When gastrointestinal symptoms occur in a patient with known melanoma, gastric metastases should be considered. Polypoid or target lesions are frequently seen on barium x-ray study. Small bowel roentgenograms should be obtained. Endoscopy, cytologic study, brushing, and biopsy may yield the diagnosis. The prognosis is poor. Surgery should be performed only to relieve significant symptoms.
