Magnified observation of elevated lesions of the stomach based on magnifying fiberoptic endoscopy and dissecting microscopy.
On the basis of considerable experiences, we have correlated findings under the dissecting microscopy (1, 3, 6, 7) with findings obtained with the magnifying fiberoptic endoscope (2, 5), and have established a system of classification (2, 4) to help the endoscopist determine the nature of elevated lesions of the stomach without a biopsy.
