title: [Role of ultrasound study in present-day diagnosis of gastric endophytic carcinoma].
abstract: From the current concept of an obvious predominance of intramurally growing carcinomas of the stomach over its all other anatomic forms, the authors attempted to evaluate whether they could be diagnosed by ultrasonography. The ultrasound symptomatology characteristic of the carcinomas was described on the basis of 105 verified gastric endophytic carcinomas, by using the known special ultrasound procedures methodologically modified by the authors. Its cardinal features were as follows: the trickened wall at the site of tumor infiltration and impairment of its normal five-layer structure. The whole cycle of investigations was conducted in the comparative context: classical X-ray ("tight filling", double contrasting), endoscopy via sampling of 6-7 biopsy specimens and gastric ultrasound study made by a special procedure. Using classical X-ray and endoscopy as two basic diagnostic techniques, the authors have, nevertheless, concluded that under certain situations, the modified gastric ultrasound study may yield some information which may be useful in establishing a final diagnosis of a gastric intramural growing tumor.
