A 57-year-old woman was admitted to the Emergency Department with cough and fatigue. Blood tests revealed severe iron deficiency anemia, requiring blood transfusion. Therefore, she underwent upper GI endoscopy which revealed a large, peduncolated duodenal polyp with a reddish caput and an adenomatous pit pattern, originating from the superior duodenal flexure. Both major and minor papilla were identified. The patient underwent cap-assisted EMR (C-EMR) under deep sedation. After placing a clip on the base of the polyp stalk and injecting epinephrine (1:20000), the polyp was resected en bloc and retrieved using a Roth net. Two additional clips were placed to prevent delayed bleeding. Histological examination showed a high-grade adenoma with areas of intramucosal carcinoma (pTis) and assessed an R0 resection.
