title: [Transcutaneous sonography of gastrointestinal tumours].
abstract: This pictorial essay shows typical sonographic findings of gastrointestinal tumors from the esophagus to the rectum. The results are often incidental findings in routine examinations and demonstrate that the investigation of the GI-tract should always be part of abdominal sonography. Special tips like the examination of the stomach filled with liquid are required particularly in targeted questions.
