Abstract
In a 29-year-old male complaining of constipation, total colonoscopy revealed a 5 mm yellowish submucosal tumor at a distance of 6 cm from the anal ring. The histologic diagnosis of specimens obtained by biopsy was rectal carcinoid tumor and transanal ultrasonography revealed the tumor localization within the submucosal layer in the rectum. A strip biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis and ascertained complete excision. Rectal carcinoid tumors should be removed completely and strip biopsy may be a suitable procedure for removal of rectal submucosal tumors less than 10 mm in diameter.
