A new in vivo staining method, cresyl violet staining, for fiberoptic magnified observation of carcinoma of the gastric mucosa.
A polypoid gastric mucosal lesion with a flat portion was observed by a fiberoptic magnifying endoscope with a new in vivo staining method, cresyl violet staining. The fine surface structure of this lesion showed a characteristic "ruined sulciform pattern" suggesting papillary carcinoma histologically. Successful application of the findings of dissecting microscopy to clinical magnifying endoscopy by means of this new staining material indicates the possibility of diagnosing gastric mucosal carcinomas with much more accuracy.
