Overview

Review highlights diagnostic methods and individualized management strategies for asymptomatic upper gastrointestinal lesions, suggesting risk-based intervention.

Key Points

  • The aim is to outline the evaluation and management of asymptomatic upper gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions in clinical settings.
  • Focused on diagnostic approaches including endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).
  • Emphasized advances in tissue acquisition techniques such as EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy.
  • Summarized current guidelines for surveillance and intervention based on lesion characteristics.
  • Most small asymptomatic SELs remain stable during long-term follow-up.
  • Larger lesions and those with high-risk features show increased progression risk.
  • Guidelines advocate for EUS-based risk assessment and tailored management rather than routine resections.
