Hybrid Nerve Sheath Tumor Detected by Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection for a Gastric Subepithelial Lesion: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hybrid nerve sheath tumors (HNSTs) are exceedingly rare in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach. We describe a case of an enlarging gastric subepithelial lesion (SEL) that was accurately diagnosed and curatively treated by endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR). A 50-year-old woman presented with a 10 mm SEL on the posterior wall of the upper gastric curvature. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) revealed a low-hypoechoic lesion primarily originating from the third layer with focal, indistinct borders with the muscularis propria. Initial boring biopsy suggested a granular cell tumor based on morphology and SOX10/S100 positivity. Six months later, the lesion had enlarged to 15 mm, and EFTR under general anesthesia with laparoscopic backup was selected to obtain a full-thickness specimen. En bloc resection was successfully achieved, and the defect was completely closed with clips. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed biphasic Schwann and perineurial differentiation, confirming a hybrid schwannoma/perineurioma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed during the 22-month follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic value of EFTR for rare neurogenic SELs in which superficial biopsy may be inconclusive.
