At The Focal Point
Gastric perforations after ligation of GI stromal tumors in the gastric fundus We report 2 cases of gastric perforation after endoscopic band ligation of small stromal tumors in the gastric fundus. Two female patients, one 39 years old and one 50 years old, were referred to our hospital for treatment of these lesions. EUS revealed both lesions to be of low echogenicity and to derive from the muscularis propria; one measured 4 × 3 mm and the other measured 5 × 3 mm.
