Local recurrence after rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: a case of tumor cell implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of local recurrence of cancer after rectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). A 52-year-old male underwent a curative resection with ESD for rectal intramucosal cancer. Seventy-four months after ESD, surveillance colonoscopy showed an elevated lesion on the ESD scar, suspicious of a recurrence. The patient subsequently underwent a low anterior resection (intersphincteric) with lymph node dissection. Pathology revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, similar to the ESD specimen. We suspected that the local recurrence was caused by implantation of tumor cells during the ESD, due to surgical manipulation performed with the tumor in an exposed setting for a long period of time.

Subserosal recurrence without mucosal involvement diagnosed 5 years after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early rectal cancer.
A 61-year-old woman underwent successful en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the management of a 4-cm, nodular, mixed-type, laterally spreading tumor located 11cm from the anal verge (●" Fig.1). Although the depth of submucosal invasion was 3000μm, the patient refused additional surgical treatment. Three weeks after ESD, the patient developed an extraperitoneal pelvic abscess, wh...

AIM The aim of this study is to compare the short-term clinical outcomes between endoscopic submucosal dissection and transanal local excision for rectal carcinoid tumors. METHODS Between 2007 and 2012, 31 patients with rectal carcinoid underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection at our hospital. They were compared with a matched cohort of 23 patients who underwent transanal local excision for...
متن کاملRole of endoscopic submucosal dissection in treatment of rectal gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
INTRODUCTION A significant rise in incidence of rectal gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) has been observed in the last decade. Most detected gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are well differentiated and less than 2 cm in diameter. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a new method for endoscopic treatment of such tumors, difficult to resect by ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Rectal Cancer Close to the Dentate Line Accompanied by Mucosal Prolapse Syndrome
A 37-year-old man presented to our hospital for early rectal cancer accompanied by mucosal prolapse syndrome. Biopsy confirmed an adenocarcinoma, and endoscopic ultrasonography indicated proximity to the dentate line but no submucosal invasion. The tumor was removed en bloc via endoscopic submucosal dissection without complications, and its margin was free of tumor cells. The total procedure du...
متن کاملEndoscopic submucosal dissection with double-tunnel technique for en bloc resection of large rectal laterally spreading tumor
Large (>2.5 cm) rectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are often managed endoscopically with piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection technique (pEMR). However, the mean recurrence rate after pEMR is 20% [1]. Furthermore, rectal LST-mixed granular type lesions (0-Is+IIa) demonstrate deep submucosal cancerous infiltration in 10.1% of cases [2]. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an endosc...
