[The laterally spreading colon tumors. Diagnostic efficacy of colonoscopy and chromoscopy using indigocarmine and acetic acid].

The laterally spreading colon tumors (LST) constitute a kind of flat superficial neoplasia, which may cause colorectal cancer. There was studied the efficacy of colonoscopy and chromoscopy, using indigocarmine and acetic acid in the LST diagnosis in 897 patients. In 85 (9.5%) patients, suffering adenoma 113 LST were revealed, including 84 (74.3%) of a nongranular type (LST - NG), 29 (25.7%)--of granular type (LST - G). The diameter of LST was from 10 to 120 mm, 19.6 mm at average. Tubular adenoma was diagnosed in 67 (59%) observations, the dentate one--in 24 (21%), papillary--in 12 (11%), papillary-tubular--in 10 (9%).
