A comparison of magnifying and nonmagnifying colonoscopy for diagnosis of colorectal polyps: A prospective study

BACKGROUND: Discrimination between neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal polyps is essential for determining appropriate treatment. The mucosal crypt pattern of polyps can be observed with a nonmagnifying colonoscope; however, mucosal crypt patterns are better seen by magnifying colonoscopy, which can also be a noninvasive means for predicting histopathology. This study prospectively compared the ability to distinguish between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions by magnifying and nonmagnifying colonoscopy. METHODS: Six hundred sixty patients were randomly assigned to undergo magnifying or nonmagnifying colonoscopy (2 groups each of 330 patients). The mucosal crypt pattern of colorectal lesions was classified into types I through V after spraying with 0.2% Indigo carmine dye. The histopathology of all lesions was confirmed by evaluation of endoscopic resection specimens or biopsy specimens. Only lesions 10 mm or less in diameter were included in the study. RESULTS: The accuracy of magnifying colonoscopy in distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions (92%, 372/405) was significantly higher than for nonmagnifying colonoscopy (68%, 278/407). Insertion of magnifying and nonmagnifying colonoscopes to the cecum was successful in, respectively, 321 patients (97%) and 317 patients (96%), with no significant differences in the average time to reach the cecum or average total procedure time. No serious complication was observed during or immediately after the examinations. CONCLUSIONS: Observation of mucosal crypt pattern with magnifying colonoscopy is superior to nonmagnifying colonoscopy for distinguishing between neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal lesions.     

Magnifying Endoscopy with Indigo Carmine Contrast for Differential Diagnosis of Neoplastic and Nonneoplastic Colonic Polyps

This study describes the feasibility of magnifying colonoscopy with indigo carmine dye contrast to distinguish neoplastic and nonneoplastic colonic polyps. This study sampled consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy using an Olympus CF240ZI from January to October 2000 at Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Lin-Kou Medical Center. This study analyzed a total of 270 polyps. Indigo carmine (0.2%) was sprayed directly on the mucosa surface before observing the crypts using a magnifying colonoscope (1.5x-100x). The pit patterns were described using the classification proposed by Kudo. Finally, polypectomy or biopsy was performed for histological diagnosis. The study identified 155 adenomas, 99 hyperplastic polyps, 9 adenocarcinomas, and 7 other nonneoplastic lesions (harmatoma, inflammatory polyps, and mucosal tag). The pit pattern was analyzed for all lesions. Further classification into neoplastic (adenoma and adenocarcinoma) and nonneoplastic (hyperplastic and others) polyps revealed 156 neoplastic and 14 nonneoplastic polyps among the type III to type V pits and 92 nonneoplastic and 8 neoplastic polyps among the type I and II pits. The sensitivity of type III to type V pits in detecting neoplastic polyps was 95.1%, with a specificity of 86.8% and diagnostic accuracy of 91.9%. The positive likelihood ratio was 7.3, and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.06. Magnifying colonoscopy with indigo carmine dye contrast provides morphological detail that correlates well with polyp histology. Small flat lesions with typical type II pit pattern should have minimal neoplastic risk, thus endoscopic resection is not necessary.     

Magnifying colonoscopy in differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic colorectal lesions

OBJECTIVE: Because the medical management of persons with adenomatous colorectal polyps differs from that of those with hyperplastic polyps, accuracy of diagnosis is essential. This study reports our experience using a magnifying colonoscope combined with indigocarmine dye to diagnose colorectal polyps, emphasizing its ability to differentiate neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions. METHODS: The materials consisted of 175 polyps. A 0.2% indigocarmine solution was sprayed, and the colonoscope zoom apparatus performed a magnified observation after an ordinary colonoscopy identified the lesions. The pit patterns were classified into six categories: I, II, III(L), IIIs, IV, and V according to Kudo's modified classification. RESULTS: The percentages of neoplastic changes in the lesions with pit pattern I, II, III(L), IIIs, IV, and V were 0, 12.2, 69.7, 80, 84.4, and 100%, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity of neoplastic lesions was 93.8% and specificity was 64.6% when types I and II represented the pit pattern of nonneoplastic lesions and types III(L), IIIs, IV, and V represented neoplastic lesions. The overall diagnostic accuracy in differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions was 80.1%. The diagnostic accuracy is not influenced by the size and shape of the lesions. The six neoplastic lesions that were misjudged to be nonneoplastic were histologically adenoma with only mild atypia. CONCLUSIONS: The pit pattern analysis of colorectal lesions by magnifying colonoscopy is a useful and objective tool for differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions of the large bowel. In its current state of development, however, this technique is not a substitute for histology.     

Further validation of magnifying chromocolonoscopy for differentiating colorectal neoplastic polyps in a health screening center

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The accuracy of conventional colonoscopy to differentiate neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps is limited, justifying a biopsy for histologic analysis. Magnifying chromocolonoscopy has emerged as the best tool available for differentiating adenomatous and hyperplastic polyps during colonoscopy; however, magnifying endoscopes are rarely used in endoscopy units. This study aimed to further validate the effectiveness of magnifying chromocolonoscopy in the diagnosis of neoplastic colorectal polyps in a screening center. METHOD: Five hundred average-risk subjects were randomly divided into two groups: a magnifying chromocolonoscopy group and a conventional chromocolonoscopy group, each of 250 subjects. Lesions were analyzed according to Kudo's classification of pit pattern (types I-V) and additionally subdivided into non-neoplastic (types I-II) and neoplastic (types III-V). Lesions judged as neoplastic were resected and those judged as non-neoplastic were left in situ. Only lesions < or =10 mm were included in the study. Resected lesions were analyzed with histopathological examination. RESULTS: The overall accuracy of magnifying chromocolonoscopy for differentiating neoplastic lesions (95%, 135 of 142), was significantly higher than that of conventional chromocolonoscopy (84%, 102 of 122; P < 0.01). The accuracy of magnifying chromocolonoscopy for differentiating neoplastic lesions < or =5 mm was 94% (135 of 142), whereas that of conventional chromocolonoscopy was only 78% (69 of 89; P < 0.001). Results were not affected by the macroscopic types. CONCLUSION: Magnifying chromocolonoscopy is superior to conventional chromocolonoscopy for the diagnosis of colorectal neoplastic lesions in the setting of a health testing center.     

Efficacy of magnifying endoscopy in the differential diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps of the large bowel

PURPOSE: We have introduced magnifying colonoscopy into clinical practice and analyzed its diagnostic efficacy, especially regarding the ability to distinguish neoplastic from non-neoplastic polyps. METHODS: The materials consisted of 923 polyps. After identifying the lesions during normal colonoscopy, a dye was sprayed, and then the zoom apparatus of the colonoscope was used to make a magnified observation at a maximum 100 times magnification. We classified the crypt orifices into six categories and labeled them A to F as follows: A, a medium round appearance; B, an asteroid appearance; C, an elliptic appearance; D, a small, round appearance; E, a cerebriform appearance; F, no apparent structural appearance. RESULTS: Forty-two of 923 polyps did not reveal any clear images of crypt patterns. The percentage of histologically neoplastic change in the lesions classified as A, B, C, D, E, and F were 10, 15.9, 93.7, 100, 94.8, and 87.5 percent, respectively. When we considered types A and B to represent a crypt pattern of non-neoplastic lesions, and types C, D, E, and F to represent neoplastic lesions, and when the lesions that did not show any clear images were classified as a misjudgment, the diagnostic accuracy of neoplastic lesions (sensitivity) was 92 percent and that of non-neoplastic lesions (specificity) was 73.3 percent. Overall, the diagnostic accuracy in differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions was 88.4 percent. Twenty-three neoplastic lesions that were misjudged to be non-neoplastic were histologically adenoma with mild atypia in 22 and adenoma with moderate atypia in 1. CONCLUSION: Magnifying colonoscopy was considered to be useful in determining the indications for colonoscopic removal.Poster presentation at the meeting of The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 22 to 26, 1997.

Magnifying colonoscopy in the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma invading the submucosa in familial adenomatous polyposis

The development of colonoscopy with image magnification has enable to study the colonic mucosa in detail and to do differential diagnosis between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions from the observation of pit patterns. The results are comparable to stereomicroscopy being possible to predict the histologic diagnosis. In a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis magnifying colonoscopy was performed and this method demonstrated a wide variation of benign polypoid lesions and the morphological features of early colorectal cancer. In this patient, the evaluation by image magnification, together with indigo carmin 0.4% chromoscopy, showed a wide variety of lesions in the colon and rectum: laterally spreading tumor in the cecum, with IIIL + IV pits, subpediculate polyp in the transverse colon with approximately 2.0 cm diameter and IV + V pits, flat elevated lesions IIIL type, and in the sigmoid colon IIa + IIc lesion with V type of Kudo's classification were observed. The evaluation of pit patterns of the lesions in the transverse and sigmoid colon has enable to do the endoscopic diagnosis of the lesion with submucosal invasion.     

High resolution chromoendoscopy in the differential diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps

BACKGROUND: Magnifying colonoscopy brought the possibility of precise histologic diagnosis of colorectal lesions through their surface appearance. Despite the high accuracy of magnifying colonoscopy it is a specialized and expensive equipment not available in most medical centers. Due to these reasons the use of conventional colonoscopy with chromoscopy has been raised because this produce can reproduce most of the information previously obtained by magnifying colonoscopy. AIM: To determine the role of high resolution colonoscopy and indigo carmine chromoscopy for differential diagnosis between neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal lesions through measurements of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values. PATIENTS / METHODS: It was performed a prospective study. Seventy-four colorectal polyps were evaluated in 54 patients. A high resolution Olympus Exera CFQ 160L colonoscope was used. After the identification of the lesions, they were dyed with indigo carmine 0,2% and classified according to Kudo's classification by a single observer. After resection, the polyps were submitted to histopathological examination. RESULTS: The endoscopic findings were compared to histopathologic results. The accuracy of the method was 79,7%, sensibility of 88,8%, specificity of 55%, positive predictive value of 84,2% and a negative predictive value of 64,7%. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that we must be careful to apply high resolution colonoscopy and chromoscopy because adenomatous lesions can be misdiagnosed as non-neoplastic.

Prolapsing mucosal polyps in the sigmoid colon: presenting with chronic abdominal cramping pain and colonic obstruction

Colorectal polypoid lesions are classified as either neoplastic or non-neoplastic, and the differentiation between the two lesions is important for clinical practice, however, this is not easy in some rare cases. Cases of colonic prolapsing mucosal polyps are rare. They are often, but not always, associated with diverticular disease and present with abdominal pain, obstructive symptoms or bleeding. On colonoscopic examination, the lesions are characterized by multiple polyps or elevated patches with smooth and bright red colored surface. The histological features include: glandular crypt abnormalities, fibromuscular obliteration of the lamina propria, and thickened and splayed muscularis mucosa. We report herein a case of sigmoid colonic prolapsing mucosal polyps presenting with acute lower abdominal cramping pain and colonic obstruction who was diagnosed based on colonoscopy and endosonography findings and treated with conservative management.     

DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF PIT PATTERN AND VASCULAR PATTERN ANALYSES IN COLORECTAL LESIONS

Background: The aim of this prospective study is to compare the usefulness of magnifying narrow band imaging (NBI) and magnifying chromoendoscopy in the diagnosis of colorectal lesions. Methods: The subjects were 1185 patients who underwent a complete colonoscopic examination and endoscopic or surgical treatment, from January 2006 to February 2008. A total of 1473 lesions were evaluated (53 hyperplastic polyps, 1317 adenomas, 103 submucosally invasive cancers). The digital images with NBI or chromoendoscopy were recorded and diagnosed independently from each other by two endoscopists who were blinded to the final pathological diagnosis. Results: We could differentiate between neoplastic and non‐neoplastic lesions with sensitivity of 88.9%, specificity of 98.5% and accuracy of 98.2% according to the vascular pattern. By recognizing an irregular or sparse pattern with NBI, massively invasive submucosal cancer could be diagnosed with the sensitivity and specificity of 94.9% and 76.0%. Using chromoendoscopy, we could differentiate between neoplastic and non‐neoplastic lesions with sensitivity of 86.8% and specificity of 99.2%. We were able to differentiate between massively invasive cancers and slightly invasive cancers using the pit patterns with sensitivity of 89.7% and specificity of 88.0%. The specificity was superior to that of NBI colonoscopy. Conclusion: Both NBI and chromoendoscopy can be useful for distinguishing between neoplastic and non‐neoplastic lesions. In the diagnosis of submucosal cancer, pit pattern diagnosis was slightly superior to vascular pattern diagnosis. It is desirable to perform chromoendoscopy in addition to NBI for distinguishing between slightly and massively invasive submucosal cancer lesions and determining the treatment.

Adenocarcinoma in solitary large hyperplastic polyp diagnosed by magnifying colonoscope: report of a case

We report a case of carcinoma in a hyperplastic polyp in a 78-year-old female that was diagnosed before resection using a magnifying colonoscope. The patient presented with fecal occult blood and underwent total colonoscopy, which revealed a 12-mm sessile polyp in the cecum. When seen in magnified view, an irregularly shaped pit was evident at the center of the polyp that was distinct from the asteroid-type pits observed over most of the lesion. We diagnosed this lesion as a hyperplastic polyp with a carcinoma component. The patient underwent endoscopic mucosal resection, and histologic section revealed a well-differentiated intramucosal adenocarcinoma in the hyperplastic polyp. Hyperplastic polyps of the colon are regarded as benign, nonneoplastic lesions. Few have reported carcinomas in or with hyperplastic polyps, and most of those were diagnosed after resection and histologic investigation. The literature suggests a precise observation and consideration of resection for large solitary hyperplastic polyps in the right side of the colon, because the risk of malignancy is high. Magnifying colonoscopy is helpful for observing the surface in detail and for correctly diagnosing and managing the lesion.

Efficacy of high magnification chromoscopic colonoscopy for the diagnosis of neoplasia in flat and depressed lesions of the colorectum: a prospective analysis

BACKGROUND: High magnification chromoscopic colonoscopy (HMCC) permits the in vivo examination of the colorectal pit pattern, which has a high correlation with stereomicroscopic appearances of resected specimens. This new technology may provide an "optical biopsy" which can be used to aid diagnostic precision and guide therapeutic strategies. Conflicting data exist concerning the accuracy of this technique when discriminating neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions, particularly when flat and depressed. AIM: To prospectively examine the efficacy of HMCC for the diagnosis of neoplasia in flat and depressed colorectal lesions using standardised morphological, pit pattern, and histopathological criteria. Clinical recommendations for the use of HMCC are made. METHODS: Total colonoscopy was performed on 1850 patients by a single endoscopist from January 2001 to July 2003 using the C240Z magnifying colonoscope. Identified lesions were classed according to the Japanese Research Society guidelines, and pit pattern according to Kudos modified criteria. Pit pattern appearances were then compared with histopathology. RESULTS: A total of 1008 flat lesions were identified. The sensitivity and specificity of HMCC in distinguishing non-neoplastic from neoplastic lesions were 98% and 92%, respectively. However, when using HMCC to differentiate neoplastic/non-invasive from neoplastic/invasive lesions, sensitivity was poor (50%) with a specificity of 98%. Diagnostic accuracy was not influenced by size or morphological classification of lesions. CONCLUSION: HMCC has a high overall accuracy at discriminating neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions but is not 100% accurate. HMCC is a useful diagnostic tool in vivo but presently is not a replacement for histology. Requirements for further education and training in these techniques need to be addressed.     

SURVEILLANCE BY MAGNIFYING ENDOSCOPY IN PATIENTS WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Background: Patients with total or left‐sided ulcerative colitis (UC) for more than 10 years have an increased risk of colon cancer. We studied usefulness of magnifying chromoendoscopy for the surveillance of dysplasia and colitic cancer associated with UC. Methods: From April 2003 through February 2004, 39 patients who had total or left‐sided UC for at least 7 years were prospectively enrolled in an endoscopic surveillance program, including target biopsy. All patients were examined by chromoendoscopy and magnifying endoscopy. Sites showing abnormal mucosal surface patterns or pit patterns suggestive of dysplasia underwent biopsy. Results: Of the 39 patients, 26 had total UC and 13 left‐sided UC. The mean time elapsed since the onset of UC was 16.2 ± 5.9 years. Disease activity at examination was remission in 22 patients, mild in 15, and moderate in two. Dysplasia was diagnosed in two patients (three lesions), dysplastic changes were suspected in two (two lesions), and sporadic adenoma was diagnosed in four (five lesions). On endoscopic examination, dysplasia appeared as flat elevated lesions with types IIIl and IV pit patterns. Resected specimens showed low‐to‐high‐grade dysplasia. The four patients presenting with a type III to IV mucosal pit pattern during remission were evaluated as sporadic adenoma on pathological findings. Conclusions: A combination of chromoendoscopy and magnifying endoscopy is useful for the detection of dysplasia and colitic cancer in patients with UC.     

Kudo’s pit pattern classification for colorectal neoplasms: A meta-analysis

AIM: To analyze the current available evidence of Kudo’s pit pattern classification for diagnosing colorectal neoplasms.METHODS: A search was performed on Pubmed/Embase to identify studies reporting the outcomes of the pit pattern classification in colorectal polyps. Retrieved records were evaluated and selected by two independent investigators. The number of patients, polyps and diagnostic performance of Kudo’s pit pattern classification were retrieved from suitable studies. Pooled sensitivities and specificities were calculated using fixed or random effect models according to their heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot, Egger’s test, and Begg’s test. Sensitivity analysis was performed by omitting one study at a time and selecting a subgroup consisting of 11 magnifying chromoendoscopy studies.RESULTS: 20 eligible studies were included in which a total of 5111 colorectal lesions in 3418 patients were identified for the differentiation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps. Pit pattern classification in all the studies of mucosal patterns with magnification resulted in a pooled sensitivity of 89.0% (95%CI: 85.2-91.9) and pooled specificity of 85.7% (95%CI: 81.3-89.2) and the area under the SROC curve was 0.9354. There was significant publication bias (P = 0.038 and 0.006 for sensitivity and specificity using Egger’s test, P = 0.035 and 0.139 for sensitivity and specificity using Begg’s test, respectively). No single study significantly affected the pooled result, and the magnifying chromoendoscopy subgroup yielded a sensitivity of 92.7% (95%CI: 89.2-95.2) and specificity of 87.3% (95%CI: 81.6-91.4).CONCLUSION: Kudo’s pit pattern classification is an accurate diagnostic method for the differentiation of neoplastic colorectal lesions. Publication bias is significant in the current available literature.

Conventional colonoscopy and magnified chromoendoscopy for the endoscopic histological prediction of diminutive colorectal polyps： A single operator study

AIM: To accurately differentiate the adenomatous from the non-adenomatous polyps by colonoscopy. METHODS: All lesions detected by colonoscopy were first diagnosed using the conventional view followed by chromoendoscopy with magnification. The diagnosis at each step was recorded consecutively. All polyps were completely removed endoscopically for histological evaluation. The accuracy rate of each type of endoscopic diagnosis was evaluated, using histological findings as gold standard. RESULTS: A total of 240 lesions were identified, of which 158 (65.8%) were non-neoplastic and 82 (34.2%) were adenomatous. The overall diagnostic accuracy of conventional view, and chromoendoscopy with magnification was 76.3% (183/240) and 95.4% (229/240), respectively (P< 0.001) CONCLUSION: The combination of colonoscopy and magnified chromoendoscopy is the most reliable non-biopsy method for distinguishing the non-neoplastic from the neoplastic lesions.
