AI Article Synopsis
- An 80-year-old man with an orthotopic heart transplant had a large ulcerated mass found in his colon during tests for anemia.
- Due to other health issues, he was not suitable for surgery and was referred to a specialized endoscopy team for palliative and possible curative treatment.
- The team used a new method combining full-thickness resection and morcellation to completely remove the tumor endoscopically.
Article Abstract
An 80-year-old man with a history of an orthotopic heart transplant was found to have a 25 × 40 mm centrally ulcerated mass at the hepatic flexure during evaluation of anemia. Owing to comorbidities, the patient was deemed to be a poor surgical candidate and was referred to the advanced endoscopy team to explore palliative and potentially curative options. We present a novel sequence of intervention involving full-thickness resection with subsequent morcellation clean-up to achieve complete endoscopic removal of a neoplastic lesion.
