Background And Aims:
Periampullary subepithelial lesions are generally removed by surgery. We demonstrate a video of endoscopic resection of a periampullary duodenal paraganglioma.
Methods:
A combination of ERCP and endoscopic submucosal dissection skills was used to facilitate separation of the subepithelial lesion from the ampulla and lesion resection.
Results:
En bloc resection with negative margins was achieved. Pathology confirmed a gangliocytic paraganglioma.
Conclusions:
Endoscopic resection is a feasible and less-invasive alternative to pancreaticoduodenectomy for selected periampullary subepithelial lesions.
