Art in Endoscopy: “Oil painting”

Tanya Bisseling

This detailed image shows a colonic tubular adenoma with low grade dysplasia. In the normal course of events it would simply be characterized as a polyp, Kudo IIIL, Paris Is, and Hiroshima B-type. However the original image resembled a 17th-century oil painting, prompting the idea to also photo-edit it in a baroque style. Thus we see here a tubular adenoma as Rembrandt van Rijn might have painted it!

“Art in Endoscopy” is an initiative of four gastroenterologists in training that aims to display examples of the incidentally beautiful images that are sometimes encountered in regular endoscopic practice.
