[Gastric lipoma diagnosed using transcutaneous echography with a fluid-filled stomach].
A patient with a lipoma of the stomach was diagnosed preoperatively by transcutaneous ultrasound and replenishment of the stomach with fluid, obtaining in this way specific ultrasound diagnostic criteria. This technique might be considered as complementary to endoscopy in the diagnosis of submucous tumours and as an alternative to other expensive examinations such as endoscopic echography.
