Abstract
Narrow-band imaging with magnification is a tool often used to predict the histology of early depressed-type gastric cancer on the basis of the observation of the vascular and surface structure [1]. However, it can be relatively difficult to characterize elevated-type lesions because the alert signs, such as microvascular pattern or demarcation line, are sometimes obscure [2]. New-generation endocytoscopy (single lens, continuous zoom) enables in vivo ultrahigh magnification (× 520) for direct visualization at the cellular level and allows a precise pathological prediction of gastrointestinal neoplasia [3]. Herein, we report two patients with gastric elevated lesions that were characterized accurately by endocytoscopy ([Video 1]).
