Successful en bloc resection of an esophageal hemangioma by combined EBL & EMR: a case report and technical review

Abstract: A 58-year-old male was diagnosed esophageal hemangioma during a endoscopy in regular examination. The patient was referred to the department of gastroenterology in our hospital to treatment.Combined endoscopic band ligation (EBL) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed for diagnostic treatment. Histopathological results revealed hemangioma. Even though several approaches such as esophagectomy, endoscopic removal, sclerotherapy, and laser therapy have been used to remove the esophageal hemangiomas,… Show more

“…[ 9 , 12 ] However, EMR can cause bleeding. Combined EMR with endoscopic band ligation [ 13 ] or hemostatic clipping [ 2 ] can be performed as alternative treatment options for esophageal hemangiomas with the advantage of less bleeding and perforation risks. However, sometimes repetitive EMR is necessary to prevent recurrence.…”

“…ESD technique is superior to conventional EMR in terms of higher en bloc and pathologically complete resection in rectal NET therapy. However, ESD is technically complex and difficult, time-consuming, with a significant risk of perforation or bleeding, and is not yet widely accepted in the treatment of colorectal neoplasms (26,27). The ESD perforation rate for colorectal neoplasms was much higher than the ESD perforation rate for stomach tumors, so the safety profile related to ESD was not established for colorectal neoplasms (13,14,28).…”
