[|Human|] I have had pain in both stomach & intestinal area for 6 weeks. A cat scan revealed swollen lymph nodes & mysenitery.I had a colonoscopy that was clear & an endoscopy that revealed a sub mucosal lesion on the body of the stomach. Biopsies were negative.  Dr. claims lesion is not connected. I have lost weight obviously because everything I eat, or drink causes pain. I have an appt in 2 days for UGIw/barium along with small bowel follow thru. One week later I will get those results @ my drs appt. Seems like a long time to get results. All my blood work has been normal except for my lymphocytes, which were below scale. Otherwise, I feel normal. -- no fever, headache, etc. I do have a chronic cough without other symptoms.
[|AI|]  Hi, I am sorry for your condition. I can understand your apprehension. Based on your symptoms and investigation findings apart from some very rare serious conditions there is also a lot of possibility of problems which may be very benign or less harmful. According to some recent studies, due to the submucosal location of lesions, biopsy under endoscopic guidance may not always yield adequate tissue for making a proper diagnosis.  Recent advances in CT(Computerized Tomography), ultrasound technology are helpful in making the diagnosis of gastroduodenal submucosal lesions easier.  Kindly follow up with your doctor and be patient. Hope it helps. Take Care!
