RESUMO
Gastrointesinal polyp is a premalignant lesion, it is recommanded to be removed. Endoscopic polypectomy has long been considered as a safe and effective method for removal of polyps. One hundred forty eight endoscopic gastrointestinal polypectomy were done in 111 patients who visited Chungnam National University Hospital from January in l991 to August in l993, and clinical character including histopathology were evaluated.

Arteriovenous malformations occur predominantly in the cecum and ascending colon and is not associated with vascular lesions of the skin, central nerveous system. or lung Arteriovenous malformations involving gastrointastinal tract is often to be found to be cause of the recurrent painless bleeding without specific past history and family history and usually diagnosed by selective mesenteric arteriography or colonoscopy, But because of small size of the lesion and local occurence, diagnosis of the arteriovenous malformation is very difficult. Authors exprienced a case of arteriovenous maltormation in the colon. The patient had a history of repeated gastrointestinal bleeding, and were diagnosed by colonoscopy and were treated with colonoscopic resection.

Esophageal carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm consisting of about 1.5% of the whole gastrointestinal tract neoplasm and has poor prognosis of which survival rate is below 5%. The squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus could be multicentric in character and may have occured in 9.5-27% of incidence. The most common site is head and neck region. The metastasis of esophageal carcinoma occur through hematogenous, lymphatic spread, direct invasion and rarely intramural metastasis. Of theses, intramural metastasis has been occured in 7-14.3% of incidence and its presence has been regared to poor prognostic factor due to early regional or distant metastasis. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone or combination of these has been used as treatment modalities of esophageal cancer, but combination chemoradiotherapy with or without operation is prefered method than other at present. Authors report a case of esophageal carcinoma showing intramural metastasis to the gastric wall, which had the complete remission with preoperative chemoradiotherapy.

Heteratopic or ectopic pancreas is found in 0.5% to 13% autopsy series and also found one in approximately every 500 operations in abdominal surgery. The mast common sites are stomach (esp, greater curvature of the antrum), duodenum and proximal jejunum. Many ar most of these lesions do not cause clinical symptoms and the symptoms with heterotopie pancreas are nonspecific. When it produces complication(hemorrhage, pancreatitis, pyloric or CBD obstruction, pseudocyst, cancer etc.), the symytoms depend on the site of lesion, the size of mass, and the primary pathologic processes occurring within the heterotopic pancreatic tissue. Gaetrofiberoscopy revealed a small round, submucosal projection with a central niche or umblication, but this characteristic umbilication is not always present. The lesions are frequently confused with polyp, leiomyoma, intramural neoplasm, gastric ulcer and early gastric cancer, The tumors are predominantly intramural masses; 75 percent are submuicosal and the others are either intrsmuscular or subserosal. We have recently experienced a case of heterotopic pancreas on the antrum of greater curvature of stomach in 54-year-old man, who visited our hospital for melena. Gastrofiberoscopy revealed a 2 x 2 cm sized submucosal mass without bleeding focus and local excision was performed. Histologic finding showed a pancreatic acini within the gastric poper muscle layer.
