Kudo’s pit pattern classification is an accurate diagnostic method for the differentiation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic colorectal lesions. Publication bias is significant in the current available literature.

Kudo describes five different ‘pit patterns’. 6 Type I describes small round pits that typically represent normal histology. Stellar or papillary pits are type II, and roundish tubular pits are classified as type III (smaller than type IIIL) or type IIIL (larger than type IIIs).

La classificazione endoscopica di Kudo, di cui parlerò a proposito dei polipi del colon , che prevede la magnificazione e la colorazione, non si applica ai piccoli polipi dello stomaco.

The Kudo classification classifies pit pattern as round / normal (Type I), asteroid (Type II), tubular or round pit smaller than normal pit (Type IIIS), tubular or round pit larger than normal pit (Type IIIL), gyrus/dendritic (IV), irregular arrangement (VI), and loss of …

In the PIT classification system described by Kudo et al (14) (Fig. 1), type I and type II lesions are defined as having non-neoplastic patterns; type IIIL, type IIIs and type IV are adenomatous; and type VI and type VN are cancerous.

Apr 16, 2013 · The Kudo pit pattern can be assessed on colonoscopy and predicts the presence or absence of neoplasia and malignancy. [1] It is as follows: [2] Notes: A modified version includes a Type II-O pattern that is highly specific for SSAs. [3] Gastrointestinal polyps. Adenomatous polyps. Colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Apr 1, 2013 · Pedunculated polyps with features suggestive of potential underlying malignancy (ulceration or deformity or Kudo type V pit pattern) should be resected with the snare lower on the stalk (closer to colonic wall) than usual to try to ensure a clear resection margin.

Kudo and colleagues classified pit patterns into 7 types to enable the differentiation of neoplasms as well as allow for histologic grading and depth evaluation of early cancers. 6 Type I includes round pits that are observed in normal mucosa.

The Kudo classification is based on the ob-servation that the pit pattern is related to the histopathological structure of the polyp. Type 1 is intended to correspond with normal muco-sa, submucosal lesions, and hyperplastic polyps.
