Abstract

A white light imaging (WLI) endoscopy showed a 2/3 circumference rough reddish depressed area with keratinization on the right wall of middle to lower thoracic esophagus. There was no granular change or nodule within the depressed area. Predicted depth of tumor invasion was lamina propria mucosa (LPM) (Fig. 2.1).
