Case description

Chromoendoscopy using Lugol's solution. Chromoendoscopy involves the application of vital dyes that enhance the visibility of dysplastic mucosa. Vital dyes that have been studied include those that preferentially stain normal squamous mucosa (such as Lugol's iodine), Diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is usually late. Staining of the mucosa with Lugol's solution during endoscopy has been suggested to identify early cancer and dysplasia that may improve prognosis.
