A case of colonic adenoma involving a diverticulum resected by a traction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection technique

Abstract

A 76-year-old man with positive fecal occult blood tests underwent colonoscopy, which revealed a laterally spreading tumor completely surrounding a diverticulum in the ascending colon. He was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment. A second colonoscopy revealed that the laterally spreading tumor involved an entire diverticulum in the posterior wall of the ascending colon.
