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.
Keywords: adenocarcinoma; full thickness resection; morcellation.
