Figure 2 (A) Conventional “white light” endoscopic view of the distal sigmoid colon in a patient with longstanding pan‐colitis. There is focal mucosal pallor and nodularity. (B) Indigo carmine 0.5% chromoscopy shows a flat (Paris type 0‐IIb) lesion. The crypt pattern is a type I. On table diagnosis would favour a benign hyperplastic/metaplastic lesion. Endoscopic resection is therefore not indicated for this lesion.
