Background • Pit pattern analysis has been reported as useful for predicting the colorectal lesion’s histological nature. • Recently a new method of image-enhanced endoscopy called narrow band imaging (NBI) has been developed. The benefits of NBI over chromoendoscopy are that it is easier and time-saving.
Aim • 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.
Subjects
• 3380 lesions (106 hyperplastic polyps, 3056 adenomas and 218 invasive cancers limited to submucosal layer) which were observed by magnifying scope with NBI and magnifying chromoendoscopy and treated endoscopically or surgically from January 2006 to June 2009.
• The scopes were CF-H260AZI (up to x 80). • The diagnosis of NBI and pit pattern was made by endoscopists who were blinded to the final pathological diagnosis. • The pit patterns were classified into I, II, III, IV, VI and VN according to Kudo’s classification. • VI pit pattern was divided into VI low-grade and VI high-grade. Our definitions for VI high-grade pit pattern were rough margin and narrowed lumen.
Methods
• We classified colonic microvascular pattern into six; normal, faint, network, dense, irregular and sparse. • Faint pattern was usually seen in hyperplastic polyps. Network and dense patterns were frequently recognized in benign adenomas. • Irregular pattern was characteristic for protruded or flat cancers, and sparse pattern was predictive for depressed cancers.

Summary
• Both NBI and chromoendoscopy can be useful tools for distinguishing between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. • In the diagnosis of submucosal cancer, pit pattern diagnosis was a little superior to vascular pattern diagnosis.
Conclusion
• It is desirable to perform not only NBI but also chromoendoscopy for distinguishing between SMm and SMs and determining treatment selection, endoscopic or surgical.
