FTRD® as curative treatment for GI follicular lymphoma of the cecum

FTRD® enabled R0 resection without complications of an isolated follicular lymphoma in the cecum

Key findings

• Isolated GI follicular lymphoma (GI-FL) in the cecum was referred for endoscopic treatment
• With FTRD®, R0 resection without complications was achieved. Final pathology revealed a 23x21x8mm grade 1-2 follicular lymphoma with negative margins
• Patient is clinically well in the six-month follow-up
• Authors conclude that FTRD® appears effective for small isolated colonic GI-FL

Case details

• 62-year-old woman with a sessile polyp (12mm submucosal lesion) in the cecum
• PET-CT without evidence of malignancy, bone marrow biopsy was normal without evidence of lymphoma, suggesting an isolated GI-FL
• 1-year follow-up is pending
