BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a well-tolerated and effective procedure for sustained @entity353 and amelioration of weight-related co-morbidities. Rarely, unexpected pathology may be identified intraoperatively, which may alter the surgical plan. @entity674 ( @entity674 ) are among the more frequently encountered @entity5 and pose a particular concern because of their malignant potential. We review our findings of incidental @entity5 encountered during 1415 consecutive SGs. METHODS: Abnormal pathology records from all @entity1 who underwent SG at our institution between 2009 and 2014 were reviewed. @entity1 demographic characteristics and clinical characteristics, @entity5 characteristics, including immunohistochemistry, operative course, and @entity1 follow-up were reviewed. RESULTS: There were 17 incidental gastric @entity361 identified (1.2%) in 1415 SG procedures. This included 12 @entity674 (.8%), 2 @entity808 (.1%), and 3 @entity2909 (.3%). In the majority of cases (1210/1415), the gastric specimens were not reviewed by a pathologist because there were no gross abnormalities appreciated by the surgeon. The @entity674 were between .3 and 2.9 cm, and all were low grade with negative margins. @entity1 with @entity674 tended to be older (mean age 55  9.3 y) than the rest of the @entity1 . There was no evidence of recurrence on follow-up. CONCLUSION: Incidental gastric @entity361 are rarely encountered during SG. The vast majority were @entity674 with an incidence of .8% in this population. Concomitant SG and @entity5 resection were feasible, without compromising the objectives of each. Complete @entity5 excision is necessary for @entity5 >2 cm.
