1) Data on file with Olympus (DC00489968)
Scope: TJF-Q290V
Organ: Ampulla of Vater
Patient information: 67-year-old, Female
Medical history: Medication for hyperlipidemia and hypothyroidism
Case Video
This video demonstrates the usefulness of an image-enhanced endoscopy system in a patient with suspected ampullary adenoma. Using white-light imaging (WLI), a lobular mass-like lesion without ulceration or bleeding was observed. On narrow-band imaging™ technology (NBI™ technology) observation, the lesion boundaries were clearly observed with strong contrast. Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI™ technology) observation mode 1 helped to observe the surface meandering microvessels well while further emphasizing the surface cone-like lobularity. TXI™ mode 2 highlighted the surface irregular nodularity and pit pattern while maintaining visual naturalness1. In patients with suspected ampullary mass, applying TXI™ observation mode can help to identify the characteristics of mass-like lesion of ampulla of Vater and make treatment decisions.
Overall Comment
This case shows that the observation of the mass-like lesion in ampulla of Vater using TXI™ technology observation mode strongly emphasized the surface lobularity and the irregular meandering surface microvessels. TXI™ technology highlights the difference in color tone of the surface mucosa1, so the pine-cone like surface lobularity and surface microvessels of suspicious ampullary adenoma could be usefully identified using TXI™ technology mode.
