Abstract
Although leiomyomas of the stomach or small intestine are relatively common, those of the colon or rectum are rare.1-4 Several cases of endoscopic resection of colorectal leiomyomas have been described.5-7 However, conventional polypectomy of leiomyomas can result in perforation.8 To reduce the risk of perforation, submucosal injection can be performed before removal. We report a case of rectal leiomyoma in which complete enucleation was performed endoscopically using this method.
