Figure 1 Narrow band imaging findings.
A: Ordinary [non magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI)] endoscopic findings of intramucosal gastric carcinoma. A flare-like flat-type (0-IIb) lesion measuring 25 mm in diameter, with an unclear border, was observed at the greater curvature of the inferior gastric body (arrows); B: NBI finding of the lesion (non-ME); C: Strongly-magnified NBI finding at the lesion center; D: Moderately-magnified NBI finding at the margin: a demarcation line between the cancerous and non-cancerous regions could be recognized based on differences in the fine structure of mucosa and microvascular features (arrows). This was established as an imaginary boundary.
Figure 2 Biopsy findings and standard observation biopsy.
A: As shown in the photograph, biopsy was performed by measuring a distance of approximately 1.8 mm using forceps (tip diameter: 1.8 mm), regarding two regions sandwiching the boundary estimated on NBI as cancerous and non-cancerous; B: Standard observation after biopsy.
