PLAYING HIDE-AND-SEEK – ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION OF A LARGE POLYPOID LESION OF THE TERMINAL ILEUM
65-year-old man referred for treatment decision of a large cecal lesion identified at screening colonoscopy. Subsequent colonoscopy identified no lesion in the cecum; suddenly a 4-cm semi-pedunculated broad-base ileal lesion, without clear invasive features protruded from the ileocecal valve to the cecum. ESD was successfully performed with en-bloc excision, without adverse events. Pathological analysis showed a 48mm-tubulovillous low-grade-dysplasia adenoma, R0.
ESD is a feasible treatment for large lesions/adenomas of the terminal ileum because of its minimally invasive nature, ICV preservation and reliable en-bloc resection.
According to authors’ knowledge, this is the largest lesion of the terminal ileum removed by ESD.
