Band ligation-assisted endoscopic resection of a rectal Abrikossoff's tumor

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 May;114(5):295-296. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8506/2021.

Abstract

A 46-year-old man underwent colonoscopy due to familiar screening for colorectal cancer, revealing an 8-mm rounded lesion in the middle rectum, subepithelial in appearance, with non-specific characteristics. Biopsies were taken, which were inconclusive. The study was completed with a CT scan, which was normal. Given the characteristics of the lesion, smaller than one centimetre, with a low probability of muscle invasion and the possibility of complete resection, band-assisted endoscopic treatment was decided, without first carrying out an endosonographic study.
