Abstract
|
|
|
|
Rectal carcinoid tumor makes up 1∼2% of all rectal tumors. Tumor less than 1 ㎝ in diameter account for two thirds of rectal carcinoids. The incidence of metastases for rectal carcinoid tumor 1 ㎝ or smaller is low, ranging from 0∼5.5%. Because rectal carcinoid tumors are submucosal lesions, if well-differenciated carcinoid tumors of the rectum are less than 1 ㎝ in size, with invasion only up to the submucosa with no invasion of the muscularis propria and beyond, they can be adequately treated by local endoscopic or trans-anal or trans-sphincteric resection. We report a case of carciniod of the rectum resected clearly by endoscopic snare polypectomy with O-ring ligation.
