Abstract

A 65-year-old woman presented with a flat elevated lesion of about 1cm in the cecal diverticulum during a lower gastrointestinal endoscopy that was performed previously by another physician during a medical checkup. The patient was referred to our department for resection. Considering the risk of perforation owing to the diverticular lesion, positive nonlifting sign, and Group 5 diagnosis on the previous biopsy, EMR with over-the-scope clip (OTSC) (EMRO) was selected, and complete resection was achieved without complications.
