Gallbladder (GB) lesions are usually diagnosed using imaging modalities since even the bile cytology has a limited accuracy rate. 1 Newly developed cholangioscopies enable targeted biopsy of bile duct lesions and classify benign and malignant lesions based on a speculum of biliary imaging findings. [2][3][4] In our previous experience using cholangioscopy for diagnosing GB carcinoma, 5 we expected that several GB lesions may be also endoscopically distinguished. Herein, we describe the characteristic endoscopic findings of major GB lesions.Resected GB specimens were collected immediately after cholecystectomy and were opened at the side contralateral to the liver bed, followed by flushing. They were then examined with a magnifying gastroscope (GIF-H290Z; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) using white light (WL) and narrow band imaging (NBI). The normal GB mucosa has sparse villous-like structures and dendritic vessels under WL (Fig. 1a), and this is enhanced by NBI (Fig. 1b). Cholesterol polyps are whitish, elevated lesions with thin, straight vessels (Fig. 1c). Adenomyomatosis of the GB have denser and more elevated columnar epithelium compared with the normal mucosa (Fig. 1d). Non-invasive carcinoma has irregular, enlarged, heterogeneous structures under WL (Fig. 2a), and have dilated tortuous vessels (Fig. 2b). Meanwhile, liver-invasive carcinomas are nodular tumors with no superficial structural appearance (Fig. 2c), with remarkably enlarged neovessels (Fig. 2d). We intended to include the malignant as well as benign lesions because these endoscopic findings remained still unknown. We therefore found that some kinds of GB lesion may illustrate different patterns in terms of structure and vascularity, especially showing irregular surfaces and vessels in GB carcinomas.This preliminary study demonstrated specific endoscopic features of each GB lesion.
