Abstract
A 58-year-old male was diagnosed esophageal hemangioma during a endoscopy in regular examination. The patient was referred to the department of gastroenterology in our hospital to treatment. Combined endoscopic band ligation (EBL) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed for diagnostic treatment. Histopathological results revealed hemangioma. Even though several approaches such as esophagectomy, endoscopic removal, sclerotherapy, and laser therapy have been used to remove the esophageal hemangiomas, recently less invasive methods were preferred. Here we describe a case of esophageal hemangioma removed by EBL & EMR.
