Observation of Lymphangioma of the Duodenum by a Magnifying Endoscope with a Narrow-Band Imaging System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among duodenal tumors, lymphangioma is relatively infrequent. In this case report, we describe the case of a 65-year-old Japanese man with duodenal lymphangioma diagnosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Endoscopically, the tumor appeared as a soft submucosal tumor with white spots. When the white spots were grasped by biopsy forceps, milky liquid exuded from the tumor. Additionally, observation by a magnifying endoscope with narrow-band imaging revealed elongated microvessels on the surface. We speculated that this feature was formed because the duodenal villi were dilated and the microvessels were stretched due to the retention of chyle. These endoscopic findings are key features in the diagnosis of duodenal lymphangioma.

Magnifying Endoscopy for Intestinal Follicular Lymphoma Is Helpful for Prompt Diagnosis
The representative endoscopic features of primary intestinal follicular lymphoma are well known as small whitish polypoid nodules, but a magnified view has only been described in a few case reports. Herein, we report a case with intestinal follicular lymphoma in which magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging was helpful for prompt diagnosis. A 57-year-old Japanese woman underwent surveilla...

متن کاملNBI and NBI Combined with Magnifying Colonoscopy
Although magnifying chromoendoscopy had been a reliable diagnostic tool, narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been developed in Japan since 1999 and has now replaced the major role of chromoendoscopy because of its convenience and simplicity. In this paper, we principally describe the efficacy of magnifying chromoendoscopy and magnifying colonoscopy with NBI for detection, histological prediction, est...
متن کاملNarrow-band imaging of interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma originating in the duodenum.
(IDCS) is an exceedingly rare neoplasm arising from the antigen-presenting cells of the immune system [1,2]. In general, IDCS is an aggressive tumor. The median overall duration of survival is 10 months [2,3]. This is the first report of magnifying endoscopic observation of IDCS using narrow-band imaging. The patient was a 50-year-old man who had a history of ileal resection and lymph node diss...
