    A case of successful removal of a recurrent adenoma of the ileocecal valve by cap-assisted EMR.

    Methods and results A 60-year-old patient underwent a first colonoscopy at another center on January 2018. A LST-G was detected. The lesion was located near the ileocecal valve, partially involving it. A piece-meal EMR was performed.

    6-month follow-up colonoscopy highlighted residual adenomatous tissue.

    The patient was afterwards referred to our center, where cap-assisted EMR was performed in outpatient setting. Histologic examination confirmed R0 resection.

    Conclusions Cap-assisted EMR is an advanced endoscopic technique likely to be used for removing recurrent colorectal lesions, avoiding surgical resection.
