Procedure information


Scope: CF-XZ1200I

Case: Detection​

Site of lesion: Sigmoid colon

Patient information: M, 80s

Medical history: Screening

1. WLI​

On white-light imaging, a 3-mm lesion shows loss of normal vascular transparency with faint erythema.

2. TXI

With TXI, the loss of vascular transparency and faint erythema are further emphasized by enhanced contrast.

3. NBI

On conventional NBI, the lesion is recognized as a brownish area.

4. NBI

On NBI-TXI, the brownish area is accentuated, resulting in improved visibility.

5. NBI

On magnifying NBI, regular meshed capillary vessels are observed throughout the lesion.

6. NBI+TXI

On NBI-TXI observation, the vessels become more distinct, and the lesion was diagnosed as JNET Type 2.

7. Chromoendoscopy

After indigo carmine spraying, the lesion was diagnosed as a superficially elevated lesion with relative central depression (0-IIa).

8. Chromoendoscopy

Magnifying chromoendoscopy demonstrated a Kudo type IIIL pit pattern.

9. Pathological image

10. Pathological diagnosis

Pathological diagnosis: IIa, 3 mm, Sigmoid colon Tubular adenoma with Moderate atypia

Overall Comment

This case highlights the value of TXI and NBI-TXI for the detection and characterization of a diminutive colorectal adenoma. On white-light imaging, the lesion showed only subtle loss of vascular transparency and faint erythema. TXI enhanced these changes and improved lesion recognition. NBI identified the lesion as a brownish area, and NBI-TXI further increased its visibility. Magnifying observation demonstrated a regular vascular pattern and a Kudo type IIIL pit pattern, findings consistent with JNET Type 2A adenoma. Histopathology confirmed a tubular adenoma with moderate atypia.
