Successful Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of a Low Esophageal Carcinoid Tumor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Esophageal carcinoid tumors remain some of the rarest of all carcinoid tumors, with only several cases previously reported in the literature. The endoscopic mucosal resection of selected carcinoid tumors has been shown to be a valid, safe, and effective method of treatment. Endoscopic ultrasonography is the technique of choice to select patients eligible for endoscopic resection. Here, we report successful endoscopic mucosal resection of a low esophageal carcinoid tumor and review the relevant literature. The present case is the first reported case of esophageal carcinoid tumor in Korea.

history of panhypopituitarism necessitating hydrocortisone and levothyroxine supplementation underwent upper endoscopy because of heartburn, and an esophageal submucosal lesionwas detected. Surface biopsies were normal. Upper endoscopy was repeated at our institution and a 1-cm red-hued submucosal polypoid lesion was noted at 28 cm from the incisors (●" Fig. 1). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)...

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an endoscopic alternative to surgical resection of mucosal and submucosal neoplastic lesions. Prior to the development of knives, EMR could be performed with accessories to elevate the lesion. After the development of various knives, en bloc resection was possible without other accessories. So, recently, simple snaring without suction or endoscopic submucos...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is simple and quick and has low complication rates. However, the disadvantage of local recurrence or remnant rate limits the use of this technique. We aimed to analyse the outcomes of conventional EMR and EMR with circumferential incision (CIEMR), a simplified modification of EMR, in the endoscopic treatment of rectal carcinoid tumours. METHODS A ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Rectal carcinoid tumors can be resected with endoscopy, and it is important to assess their prognostic factors. We evaluated the potential of Ki-67 expression as a prognostic factor in rectal carcinoid tumors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 37 patients with rectal carcinoid tumors who got endoscopic resection from January 2001 to January 2011 at Inj...
متن کاملThe Advantage of an Endoscopic Submucosal Tunneling Technique for Rectal Carcinoid Tumors
Endoscopic treatment can be a curative option for small carcinoid tumors with an extremely low risk of metastasis. Since most carcinoid tumors are characterized by a specific growth pattern in the submucosal (SM) layer, specialized endoscopic techniques for deeper resection to achieve clear vertical margins are needed. The endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) method in the SM space is superio...
