Treatment of long-segment Barrett’s adenocarcinoma by complete circular endoscopic submucosal dissection: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND We present the first description of en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for total circumferential Barrett's adenocarcinoma, predominantly of the long-segment Barrett's esophagus (LSBE), with a 2-year follow-up and management strategies for esophageal stricture prevention. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with LSBE and Barrett's adenocarcinoma by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). A 55-mm-long circumferential tumor was completely resected by ESD. Histopathology revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma within the LSBE superficial muscularis mucosa. For post-ESD stricture prevention, the patient underwent an endoscopic triamcinolone injection administration, oral prednisolone administration, and preemptive endoscopic balloon dilatation. Two years later, there is no evidence of esophageal stricture or recurrence. CONCLUSIONS ESD appears to be a safe, effective option for total circumferential Barrett's adenocarcinoma in LSBE.

Endoscopic Therapy for Early Esophageal Neoplasia
Endoscopic treatment of early esophageal neoplasia has widely been established in gastroenterology. It has been shown to be effective and safe also in the long-term follow-up, and it is – in contrast to the previous goldstandard, which is esophageal resection – organ preserving. There is no treatment-related mortality and a very low morbidity. In early Barrett’s neoplasia, the two-step concept ...

treatment of choice and an alternative to esophagectomy in the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus with early neoplasia and superficial esophageal cancer limited to the mucosal layer.1 EMR of larger lesions requires piecemeal resection which allows the risk of higher local recurrence than in cases with en bloc resection. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been successfully applied for the ...
متن کاملThe evil lies below the surface: Subsquamous tumor extension in Barrett’s adenocarcinoma
The presence of intestinal metaplasia underneath the surrounding squamous epithelium is a well known phenomenon in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) [1]. Mostly caused by re-epithelialization with neosquamous epithelium in the context of mucosal healing (due to acid suppressive therapy or after biopsy sampling, for example), this issue has recently attracted new attention in the context of an increasing...
متن کاملAdenocarcinoma Occurring in a Gastric Hyperplastic Polyp Treated with Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Gastric hyperplastic polyps are generally considered benign lesions, although rare cases of adenocarcinoma have been reported. Although, the underlying mechanism of carcinogenesis in gastric hyperplastic polyps is still uncertain, most malignant polyps are seen to originate from dysplastic epithelium rather than from hyperplastic epithelium. Herein, we report the case of a woman diagnosed with ...
متن کاملA Case of Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection in a Patient with Gastric High-Grade Dysplasia Unsuitable for Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Gastric high-grade dysplasia is an important premalignant lesion in gastric epithelial cells and has a high possibility of transforming to adenocarcinoma. Therefore, biopsy-proven high-grade dysplasia should be treated with en bloc resection methods such as endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We report the case of a 63-year-old male patient, diagnosed with ga...
