Abstract:
Objective To summarize ultrasonographic manifestations of distal esophageal carcinoma compared with surgical and pathological findings,and investigate the diagnostic role of transabdominal ultrasound in evaluation of invasion depth of distal esophageal carcinoma. Methods Criteria on invasion depth of distal esophageal carcinoma by transabdominal ultrasound were as follows: intramural hypoechoic tumor with continuous smooth hyperechoic line of adventitia and free movement of esophagus with breath were considered as S1;incontinuous or interrupted hyperechoic line of adventitia and relatively poor movement of esophagus with breath were considered as S2;unclear boundaries of tumor with adjacent structures and poor or no relative movement with breath,S3. S1,S2,S3 referred to those without or with adventitia invasion or invasion to adjacent structures,respectively. Eighty-nine esophageal carcinoma and esophageal-cardiac junction carcinoma were enrolled in our study and retrospectively studied compared with surgical and pathological findings. Results For tumors of S1,S2,S3,the thickness of the esophageal wall were 0.4 - 4.3 cm, 0.5 - 2.1 cm, 0.9 - 3.2 cm,respectively. Thickness of the esophageal wall was significantly related with invasion depth ( P
