Abstract

Colonic leiomyoma are remarkably rare cause of colonic symptoms in clinical practice. They constitute only 3% of gastrointestinal leiomyomas and complete endoscopic removal of the tumor can be a problem because of its submucosal origin. We describe a 62-year female patient with a 8 mm leiomyoma of sigmoid colon that was successfully removed by conventional endoscopic snare electrocauterisation, without complications.
