Ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection with circumferential mucosal incision for duodenal carcinoid tumor.

Abstract

Here we present the case of a 64-year-old female with a duodenal carcinoid tumor treated by ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection (ESMR-L) with circumferential mucosal incision (CMI). Band ligation was effective in resecting the duodenal carcinoid tumor after CMI, with an uneventful post-procedural course. Histopathological examination showed clear tumor margins at deeper tissue levels. Thus, in the present case, ESMR-L with CMI was useful for the treatment of duodenal carcinoid tumor.
