ABSTRACT
The ultrasonographic study of gastroduodenal lesions has received little attention. We report results of ultrasound examination in 39 patients with gastric ulcer and 14 patients with duodenal ulcers, all endoscopically confirmed. We describe six varieties of ultrasonographic images that change with front or side views of the crater, according to the contents of the crater (liquid, sediment of air-mucus) and according to its localization (proximal or distal to the transducer). The importance of gastroduodenal segment exploration during ultrasound examination is emphasized

Se revisan 47 casos de tumores benignos de hígado, de los cuales 21 correspondieron a hallazgos de necropsia, 21 a hallazgos operatorios y 5 a casos sintomáticos que requirieron cirugía. La mayor frecuencia correspondió a hemangiomas cavernosos. Se practicó biopsia excisional en 20 casos, biopsia incisional en 4 casos y en los otros 2 casos se practicó vaciamiento de cavidades quísticas tumorales. En nuestra serie no se practicaron resecciones hepáticas regladas. No hubo mortalidad. Complicaciones escasas. Se revisa la literatura extranjera y se discuten las posibilidades terapéuticas
