Identification of neoplastic from non-neoplastic colorectal polyps with magnifying endoscopy and electronic colonoscopy / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the real time diagnosis and treatment values of magnifying endoscopy and electronic colonoscopy Methods A total of 105 colorectal polyps for colonoscopic examination were included in this study A magnifying videoscope with zoom ranges from ?1 to ?100 magnification and a common electronic endoscopy combined with indigocarmine dye were employed to observe the pit patterns of colorectal polyps Pit patterns were analyzed according to Kudo's modified classification as follows ①type Ⅰ round pit; ②type Ⅱ asteroid pit; ③type Ⅲs tubular or round pit, which is smaller than a normal pit (type Ⅰ); ④type ⅢL tubular or round pit, which is larger than a normal pit (type Ⅰ); ⑤type Ⅳ dendritic or gyrus like pit; ⑥type Ⅴ irregular or amorphous pit; and ⑦ mixed type Results Magnifying colonoscopy revealed that phenotypes of non neoplastic and neoplastic lesions were 78 57% and 21 43% in inflammatory and hyperplastic polyps, 3 33% and 96 67% in neoplastic polyps, and 100% non neoplastic phenotype in juvenile polyps, respectively Pit pattern analysis according to Kudo's modified classification showed that the diagnostic sensitivity of neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions was 96 67% and 80%, and specificity was 86 57% and 94 73%, respectively The overall diagnostic accuracy in differentiating neoplastic from non neoplastic lesions was 89 52% Pit pattern by common electronic colonoscopy showed that the diagnostic sensitivity of neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions was 88 3% and 73 3%, and specificity was 81 5% and 82 5%, respectively The overall diagnostic accuracy in differentiating neoplastic from non neoplastic lesions was 82% Conclusion The pit pattern analysis of colorectal lesions by magnifying colonoscopy or electronic endoscopy combined with indigocarmine dye is a useful method for the identification of non neoplastic polyps, adenomas and invasive carcinomas in the large bowel Therefore, it may be possible to determine, at the time of colonoscopy, which lesions should be removed endoscopically and surgically
