Core Tip
Core tip: Microsurface patterns in the magnifying endoscopy using narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) are different according to the morphologic category and mucin phenotype in gastric epithelial dysplasias (GEDs). Considering that foveolar GEDs tend to be associated with high-grade morphology, ME-NBI findings such as the papillary microsurface pattern may guide decisions regarding GED treatment.
