Core Tip
Core tip: This report presents the case of a 64-year-old female with duodenal carcinoid tumor treated by ligation-assisted endoscopic submucosal resection (ESMR-L) with circumferential mucosal incision (CMI). Band ligation was effective in resecting the duodenal carcinoid tumor after CMI. The post-procedural course was uneventful without bleeding and perforation. Histopathological examination showed clear tumor margins at deeper tissue levels. Thus, ESMR-L with CMI can be effective for the management of duodenal carcinoid tumors.
