The protection hood is an accessory widely used in the removal of foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a patient with esophageal neoplasm in which an esophageal stent was placed. Due to tumor shrinkage with chemotherapy, there was migration of the stent to the stomach. We decided to use the protection hood given the esophageal friability with a high risk of bleeding and perforation. In this way, we successfully and safely removed the stent. This case shows the potential of the protection hood in a clinical situation in which it is not frequently used.
