A 73-year-old man with an early gastric cancer was proposed for treatment by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The procedure was interrupted due to perforation successfully treated with clips. The patient was then referred to our institution for a new attempt of ESD, where a buried clip absorbed in the submucosa and attached to the muscularis propria was found during submucosal dissection. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first described case of ESD where, during the dissection process, a fully absorbed clip in the submucosa was identified, forcing its removal to complete the resection of the lesion
