Here, we describe a case of minor papillary adenocarcinoma in adenoma that was treated with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). In a 67-year-old woman, sigmoid colon cancer was incidentally detected on preoperative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Endoscopy revealed a slightly elevated lesion at the minor duodenal papilla. The findings of a histopathologic examination were suggestive of adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images identified a minute tumor, whereas endoscopic ultrasonography revealed that the tumor did not spread to the pancreas. We performed EMR of this lesion. There were no complications, and relapse has not occurred in 3 years. Cases of minor papillary adenocarcinoma treated with EMR are quite rare.

Study performed surveillance endoscopy in a 23-year-old male patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) who underwent right hemicolectomy with ileo-colic anastamosis for ileo-colic intussusception three years back. On evaluation, he found to have multiple upper gastrointestinal and ileal polyps. Subsequently he underwent polypectomies in three sessions by combined standard snare polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) method without any complication. We present a case report that emphasizes the importance of surveillance and the role of prophylactic polypectomy in patients with PJS.

Duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a rare solitary lesion arising from the mucosa and submucosa of the duodenum, which is found incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Eendoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) has been the commonly used endoscopic procedure for duodenal carcinoid tumors, but the conventional EMR done to resect duodenal NET s is likely to have positive vertical margins. However, the ligation assisted EMR has recently been shown to be a promising technique for the treatment of duodenal NET that can have a negative free margin. In our study, we present a patient of 51-year-old male, who presented with pain over epigastrium and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a small submucosal lesion of 10 mm in the duodenal bulb. The endoscopic ultrasound showed the lesion arising from the echo layer three. The biopsy was taken which showed the duodenal NET. The computed tomography of abdomen did not show any evidence of distant metastasis. The EMR of duodenal NET was done by band ligation technique. The biopsy from the resected duodenal lesion confirmed the duodenal NET with the margin free of the tumor. The patient was followed at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. During the follow up visits, the repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy did not show recurrence of the lesion and there was no any evidence of distant metastasis either. Ligation assisted EMR is an acceptable treatment in the hands of expert for small duodenal NET without the evidence of metastasis and can ensure the complete removal of the lesion with vertical free margin.

The purpose of this literature review is to examine recent advances in technique and technology of endoscopic mucosal resection of superficial early cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of superficial early cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract is standard technique in Japan and is increasingly used in Western countries. Newer techniques of EMR allow removal of larger lesions en-bloc. These minimally invasive techniques, when applied correctly, allow safe and efficacious treatment in situations that would otherwise require major surgery. Through the establishment of long-term outcomes data, standardization of endoscopic and pathologic reporting, and newer EMR technology and techniques, the future treatment of early cancers in the upper gastrointestinal tract may be achieved primarily through the endoscope.
