The analysis of the lesion performed by ESD and the follow-up EGD. a Grossly, the resected specimen with erosion (arrow) measured 38 × 26 mm and the Lugol-voiding lesion was 20 × 9 mm in size. b The resected specimen was divided into fourteen parts. Squamous cell carcinoma defined by histology was almost consistent with the Lugol-voiding area (red line). The arrow was accordant with a macroscopic erosion. c Histopathological examination revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma confined to EP and LPM, and both the lateral and vertical resection margins were tumor-free (hematoxylin–eosin stain, Loupe view). d Medium-power view of the area outlined by the black square in part c. Hyperplastic lymphoid follicles were observed in the lowest part of the tumor. e At the 4-month follow-up EGD, the scar revealed no traces of esophagitis or ulceration.
