Core Tip
Core Tip: Esophageal varices (EVs) with bleeding and superficial esophageal cancer (SEC) are two different diseases. Their coexistence is rare in clinical practice. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for SEC with EVs is one of the most challenging endoscopic procedures due to the high risk of bleeding and fibrosis caused by prior treatment. We report on a 75-year-old man with “black stool”. He had a history of cirrhosis and portal hypertension. After esophageal solitary venous dilatation and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, ESD was successfully performed without significant complications, and the SEC was treated by R0 resection. This method may become the mainstream treatment for EVs with SEC.
