Abstract

A 41-year-old male was referred for a gastric sub-epithelial lesion. EGD/EUS showed a sub-epithelial lesion in the gastric body extending to the submucosa measuring 17 mm. He opted for Endoscopic full-thickness resection. After marking the borders, the passage of the device was facilitated by a jaw thrust. The lesion was pulled inside the cap using an anchor. Following that, the lesion was resected and retrieved. There was minor bleeding treated with thermal coagulation. The pathology was well-differentiated carcinoid invading to the submucosa, the margins were free. Follow up 4 months later showed a scar with no residual tumor.
