Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography and CT in gastric stromal tumors.
METHODS: Twenty-seven patients who were found to have gastric protrusion lesions by gastroscopy underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and CT examinations. The results of endoscopic ultrasonography and CT examinations were then compared with postoperative pathological results.
RESULTS: In 11 patients who had lesions less than 3 cm in diameter, the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasonography was 85.2% and that of CT was 62.7%. In 9 patients who had lesions 3-5 cm, the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasonography was 68.4% and that of CT was 76.2%. In 7 patients who had lesions greater than 5 cm, the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasonography was 59.2% and that of CT was 83.7%. The diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasonography combined CT was 95.3%.
CONCLUSION: Endoscopic ultrasonography combined with CT is the best method for diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors.
