(A) Magnifying chromoendoscopy using the contrast method. Indigo carmine spray reveals a neoplastic pattern. However, the pit pattern cannot be observed in some parts of the tumour. (B) After acetic acid spray, the detailed structure of the entire surface is immediately demonstrated more meticulously than with the contrast method. (C) Polyp covered with mucus. Dye spray using indigo carmine fails to reveal the surface structure because of the mucus. (D) After acetic acid spray, the mucous has been clearly removed and the surface of the polyp can be evaluated.
