Overview

In this case report, we describe the first submucosal endoscopic tunneling resection of a subepithelial tumor of the esophagus in the Czech Republic. After submucosal injection and mucosal incision, we performed a submucosal tunnel towards the lesion and then removed the lesion by using special dissection knifes. After resection, the tumor was taken out with a snare. Histopathology showed GIST.

Key words:
GIST – submucosal tumor – endoscopic resection – POEM
