 A paper of considerable general medical or scientific interest Level of interest: 
 Accept after discretionary revisions Advice on publication: 
1. Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the data shown: if not, 
to mention the effective treatment modality as injection therapy, two cases are not acceptable, it can be 
only a suggestion 
2. Does the work have any serious flaws that should preclude publication? 
No 
3. Are sufficient details provided to allow replication of the work or comparison with related analyses: if 
not, what is missing? The treatment modalities should be expressed in more details. For instance, although band ligation plays an important role in endoscopic treatment of upper gi bleedings including Dieulafoy lesions,it is 
not discussed in this manuscript. References can be updated. Extra gastric location of the lesion can be 
stressed with examples. 
4. Does the manuscript adhere to the relevant standards for reporting and data deposition: if not, in what 
ways? 
Abovely mentioned data can support the contents of article 
5. Do the title and abstract accurately convey what has been found? 
yes 
6. Is the writing acceptable? 
Reevaluation is necessary after corrections 
a) Discretionary revisions 
TERATMENT MODALITIES OF THESE RARE LESIONS SHOULD CERTAINLY CONSIST OF BAND 
LIGATION. THIS MODALITY SHOULD BE MENTIONED IN THIA ARTICLE. ALSO OTHER EXTRA 
GASTRIC LESION SITES MIGHT BE UNDERLINED WITH SOME EXAMPLES TO CLARIFY THE 
IDEA ON THE READERS MIND. 
b) Compulsory revisions 
REFERENCES SHOULD BE UPDATED
