- Abstract
- We evaluated the usefulness of real-time colour Doppler flow (CDF) endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for differentiating neoplastic gallbladder (GB) polyps from non-neoplastic polyps. Between August 2014 and December 2016, a total of 233 patients with GB polyps who underwent real-time CDF-EUS were consecutively enrolled in this prospective study. CDF imaging was subjectively categorized for each patient as: strong CDF pattern, weak CDF pattern and no CDF pattern. Of the 233 patients, 115 underwent surgical resection. Of these, there were 90 cases of non-neoplastic GB polyps and 23 cases of neoplastic GB polyps. In a multivariate analysis, a strong CDF pattern was the most significant predictive factor for neoplastic polyps; sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 52.2 %, 79.4 %, 38.7 %, 86.9 % and 73.9 %, respectively. Solitary polyp and polyp size were associated with an increased risk of neoplasm. The presence of a strong CDF pattern as well as solitary and larger polyps on EUS may be predictive of neoplastic GB polyps. As real-time CDF-EUS poses no danger to the patient and requires no additional equipment, it is likely to become a supplemental tool for the differential diagnosis of GB polyps. aEuro cent Differential diagnosis between neoplastic polyps and non-neoplastic polyps of GB is limited. aEuro cent The use of real-time CDF-EUS was convenient, with high agreement between operators. aEuro cent The real-time CDF-EUS is helpful in differential diagnosis of GB polyps.
