ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Despite recent advances in endoscopic equipment and diagnostic techniques, early detection of ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasia (UCAN) remains difficult because of the complex background of the inflamed mucosa of ulcerative colitis and the morphologic diversity of the lesions. We aimed to describe the main diagnostic patterns for UCAN in our cohort, including lateral extension surrounding flat lesions.METHODS:
Sixty-three lesions in 61 patients with flat-type dysplasia that were imaged with dye chromoendoscopy (DCE) were included in this analysis. These DCE images were analyzed to clarify the dye-chromoendoscopic imaging characteristics of flat dysplasia, and the lesions were broadly classified into dysplastic and nondysplastic mucosal patterns.RESULTS:
Dysplastic mucosal patterns were classified into two types small round patterns with round to roundish structures, and mesh patterns with intricate mesh-like structures. Lesions with a nondysplastic mucosal pattern were divided into two major types a ripple-like type and a gyrus-like type. Of note, 35 lesions (55.6%) had a small round pattern, and 51 lesions (80.9%) had some type of mesh pattern. About 70% of lesions with small round patterns and 49% of lesions with mesh patterns were diagnosed as high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma, while about 30% of lesions with small round patterns and 51% of lesions with mesh patterns were diagnosed as low-grade dysplasia.CONCLUSION:
When a characteristic mucosal pattern, such as a small round or mesh pattern, is found by DCE, the possibility of UCAN should be considered.Palabras clave
