Asymptomatic small gastric subepithelial lesions arising from the muscularis propria: outcomes and surveillance in a medical center
Over a mean surveillance period of 25.5 months, 13 lesions grew beyond 20 mm. No lesion-related adverse outcomes occurred within the first three years. Histological diagnosis remains the gold standard, but when tissue acquisition is unfeasible, EUS surveillance may be an alternative. Our findings suggest that for asymptomatic micro-SELs (<10 mm) from the MP layer without high-risk features, the surveillance interval can be safely extended to two years.
