A 49-year-old man was referred to our center after being diagnosed with distal sigmoid Schwannoma. We decided to perform a full-thickness resection (FTR) of the lesion. First we proceed to mark the lesion’s edges with the FTRD Marking Probe (Olympus) and then we proceed to remove the lesion with the FTRD System Set (OVESCO Endoscopy). No periprocedural complications were observed. The patient, after adequate observation, was discharged in good general conditions from our hospital on the same day. We believe that FTR represents a safe and effective technique for the treatment of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) of the colon.
