Question:

The summer of this year is here again - at least on our half of the globe. During the summer - in June, July and August - the Quiz will be quite easy for two reasons. First, a quick answers save You time to be out in the sun. Second, You do not have to be an expert in endoscopy to manage in this quiz during the summer. So - if You are a health care professional just thinking of starting a career in endoscopy, please have a try - You might find it interesting!

And then the last case this summer. This old lady came to a colonoscopy as she was found to have iron deficiency anaemia. She had not experienced any stomach trouble nor had she seen any blood in her stools. These images shows the upper part of the rectum. Two questions this time, one for the beginners and one for the more experienced endoscopists:

* Question for the beginners:
What is the finding in the first image and in the upper part of the second and third image?

* Question for the more experienced endoscopists:
What is the mucosal whitish discolouration seen in the lower part of the second and third image and in the fourth image?

So, just pick one of the questions and send Your answer! And enjoy the summer weeks we have ahead of us!
