    Author: Ito K, Shiraki K, Sugimoto K, Ito N, Takase K, Nakano T.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 2002; 49(47):1255-6. PubMed ID: 12239917.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of rectal carcinoid tumor totally resected by endoscopy. A 48-year-old male complained of abdominal discomfort. Digital examination revealed a slightly hard mass. Colonoscopy demonstrated a slightly hard mass measuring 13 mm in diameter in the rectum, 5 cm from the anal verge. Endoscopic resection was successfully performed and histological examination led to a diagnosis of carcinoid tumor. No local remnant lesion or distant metastasis was found.
