Esophageal inlet patch (EIP) adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. We present a case of a 58-year-old man who underwent a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy for dysphagia and found to have a 2 cm polypoid mass arising from an EIP. Biopsies and staging were consistent with T1aN0M0 EIP adenocarcinoma. While surgical resection was the main method of treatment of these lesions, very few case reports have shown that endoscopic resection can successfully remove these lesions. After multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent curative traction-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection-which is the first known case report to highlight the success of this technique.
