Conclusion: Compared with LSTs without a skirt, the results indicated that LSTs with a skirt are more commonly found in female patients, predominantly has a diameter of ≥ 20 mm, typically presents as a mixed nodular type, is frequently located in the rectum, and is often classified as carcinoma. The presence of rectal lesions and lesion diameter ≥ 20 mm increases the likelihood of skirt features in LSTs. Furthermore, advanced age (≥ 60 years) may elevate the risk of carcinogenesis in LSTs with a skirt, necessitating thorough preoperative assessments and complete resection during endoscopic removal of such lesions.
