Presentamos el caso de una paciente con síntomas dispépticos típicos, poco llamativos inicialmente, a la que se diagnosticó, tras realizar un estudio adecuado, de una tumoración retroperitoneal de gran tamaño.Discutiremos la aproximación diágnostica y revisaremos la bibliografía existente sobre esta enfermedad
Dyspepsia is a frequent cause of referral to gastroenterology units. After appropriate investigations, many patients receive a diagnosis of functional disorders, although dyspepsia can have an organic basis.We present the case of a woman with typical symptoms of dyspepsia, which were initially mild. After appropriate investigations, the patient was diagnosed with a giant retroperitoneal tumor. We discuss the diagnostic approach to this entity and review the literature on the topic

La ingesta de cuerpos extraños representa la segunda indicación en frecuencia para la realización de una endoscopia digestiva alta urgente. Una vez que pasan al estómago suelen expulsarse de forma espontánea, si bien un porcentaje bajo de éstos queda enclavado en la mucosa gastrointestinal por ser afilados o de gran tamaño.Las espinas de pescado son un importante número de los cuerpos extraños ingeridos.Se presentan 2 casos en que la ingesta de una espina de pescado produjo una perforación gástrica que se resolvió satisfactoriamente de forma endoscópica.La perforación se considera una contraindicación absoluta para realizar endoscopias, tanto altas como bajas, si bien casos como éstos enseñan a individualizar siempre la decisión de realizar tratamientos endoscópicos, ya que perforaciones puntiformes, sobre todo si se asocian a reacción inflamatoria parietal y peritoneal que ayude a cerrar la perforación de forma espontánea, pueden tratarse sin recurrir a cirugía(AU)
Intake of foreign bodies is the second most frequent indication for urgent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Once in the stomach, foreign bodies are usually spontaneously eliminated. However, a small percentage of large or sharp objects become stuck in the gastrointestinal mucosa.Fish bones represent a substantial number of ingested foreign bodies. We present two cases of fish bone intake producing gastric perforation satisfactorily resolved with endoscopy.Perforation is considered an absolute spcontraindication for upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Cases such as those reported herein indicate that the decision to perform endoscopic treatment should always be individualized since punctiform perforations especially if associated with a parietal and peritoneal inflammatory reaction that helps to close the perforation spontaneously can be treated non-surgically(AU)
