title: Ultrasonographic evaluation of the wall of the fluid-filled stomach--case report of a leiomyoblastoma.
abstract: Filling the stomach with fluid makes possible the ultrasonographic representation of its wall. As a supplement to endoscopy and radiology, the procedure is a suitable means of demonstrating and evaluating circumscribed and infiltrating submucosal processes in the stomach and proximal duodenum. The technique is described in the case of an 18-year-old female patient presenting with a leiomyoblastoma of the stomach.
