RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) in the eminence lesions of gastrointestinal tract.Methods The clinical data of 420 patients with gastrointestinal eminence lesions subsequently received EUS were analyzed.Results In 420 cases,235 cases lesions were located in the stomach,129 cases in the esophagus,29 cases in the duodenum and 27 cases in the colon.Occurred in the wall itself of the digestive tract lesions was 85.00％ (357/420),and 73.10 ％(307/420) of submucosal neoplasm,and gastrointestinal stromal tumor,leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma was seen [60.24％ (253/420)].Lesions was not found in the digestive tract wall external oppression and lesions accounted for 14.52％(61/420),external lesions and infiltrated digestive tract was 0.48％(2/420).Conclusions EUS is an ideal diagnostic modality in distinguishing different layers of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract,and thus of important value in precise localization of lesions beneath the mucosa.And be able to hint the nature of the lesion.Meanwhile,this may be associated with colonic mucous membrane structure.
