Gastrointestinal leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors arising from the muscularis mucosae, muscularis propriae and possibly from smooth muscle of the vessel wall. Management depends on the size, location and the clinical scenario. Endoscopic snare cauterization with or without saline lift has been described in literature for tumors involving the left colon. To the best of our knowledge, endoscopic resection of right colon leiomyoma was never attempted in the past. We present a case of cecal leiomyoma which was resected endoscopically.
胃肠道平滑肌瘤是起源于黏膜肌层、固有肌层,也可能起源于血管壁平滑肌的肿瘤。治疗方法取决于肿瘤的大小、位置和临床情况。对于累及左半结肠的肿瘤,文献中已描述了使用或不使用生理盐水抬举法的内镜圈套电凝术。据我们所知,过去从未尝试过对右半结肠平滑肌瘤进行内镜切除。我们报告一例通过内镜切除的盲肠平滑肌瘤病例。
