A of 70-years old woman undergone ileo-rectal anastomosis following colectomy and lower anterior resection for synchronous adenocarcinomas of right colon and proximal rectum underwent follow-up lower GI endoscopy showed a granular laterally spreading tumour (LST-G) of 3 cm, completely involving a recess of remnant rectum and the suture line. A full-thickness resection-device (FTRD), with the addition of an anchor-device, was performed. Histology showed tubular-villous adenoma with low grade dysplasia. After three months endoscopy revealed a recurrence of granular adenoma tissue upon the clip. Hot snaring was performed to complete resection. At six months later lower GI endoscopy showed complete eradication.
