We report a case of a 42 years old male with no past medical history or current medication was referred to our outpatient clinic due to rectal bleeding. Physical examination was unremarkable and laboratory data was normal. Colonoscopy showed a 30x15mm flat granular lesion in the rectum, which did not present a typical pattern of adenoma on NBI evaluation. Biopsies were inconclusive for dysplasia and an endoscopic submucosal dissection was then performed with successful en bloc resection of the entire lesion (Fig. 1). |
