Colorectal mucoceles are rare mucinous cysts arising in the gastrointestinal tract and presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the first successful treatment of an extraluminal colorectal mucocele using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). A 65-year-old male with a known medical history of diverticulitis treated with a partial colectomy presented with constipation and low back pain. Computed tomography scan (CT) revealed a 5.4 cm cystic structure adjacent to the rectal anastomosis. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) found a subepithelial lesion with an "onion peel" appearance, and aspiration cytology confirmed a colo-colonic mucocele. Management consisted of EUS-guided placement of an 8 × 8 mm LAMS, allowing for drainage, irrigation, and suctioning of the cavity. Complete resolution was achieved without recurrence over a 2-year follow-up period. This case demonstrates the potential of advanced endoscopic techniques, particularly LAMS, in managing extraluminal colorectal mucoceles. While further research is needed to compare the efficacy of LAMS with other treatment modalities, this procedure offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for certain patients.

结直肠黏液囊肿是发生在胃肠道的罕见黏液性囊肿,在诊断和治疗上具有挑战性。我们报告了首例使用管腔贴附金属支架(LAMS)成功治疗腔外结直肠黏液囊肿的病例。一名65岁男性,有憩室炎病史并接受了部分结肠切除术,出现便秘和腰痛。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示直肠吻合口旁有一个5.4厘米的囊性结构。内镜超声(EUS)发现一个具有“洋葱皮”外观的上皮下病变,抽吸细胞学检查证实为结肠结肠黏液囊肿。治疗方法包括在EUS引导下放置一个8×8毫米的LAMS,以便对囊肿进行引流、冲洗和抽吸。在2年的随访期内囊肿完全消退且无复发。该病例证明了先进内镜技术,特别是LAMS,在治疗腔外结直肠黏液囊肿方面的潜力。虽然需要进一步研究来比较LAMS与其他治疗方式的疗效,但该手术为某些患者提供了一种微创的手术替代方案。
