Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the usefulness of pit patterns of colorectal tumors and magnifying colonoscopy. METHODS: The surface mucosal pits of seventy five colorectal lesions were observed using a magnifying colonoscopy with a zoom 1 to 100 magnification after indigo carmine or methylene blue spray. The lesions were removed by hot biopsy, palypectomy, or endoscopic mucosal resection. Histologic diagnoses were determined by light microscopy.
