“…EUS can accurately delineate the depth of penetration, thus allowing for the safe en− doscopic removal of the lesion [20 ± 24]. Whether submucosal tumors can be distinguished as benign or malignant by EUS is still controversial [14,25]; however, certain tumor features ob− servable by EUS may be more suggestive of malignancy. These include size greater than 3±4 cm, poorly defined or irregular margins, presence of internal echogenic foci or cystic spaces, ad− jacent lymphadenopathy, and rapid growth rate as determined by follow−up EUS [26,27].…”

Background:`Submucosal' lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract are often dif®cult to evaluate. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) provides high-quality information about the nature of these lesions and may assist management. This study assessed the use of EUS in the evaluation and management of upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumours.Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients were referred with suspected upper gastrointestinal submucosal lesions for EUS. All examinations were performed by one of two experienced endosonographers.Results: Most patients were referred for EUS with a suspected gastrointestinal stromal tumour. The pre-EUS diagnosis did not correlate with the EUS diagnosis in 25 of 44 patients. Pathological correlation was possible in 16 patients, and the EUS diagnosis was con®rmed in each case. Based on the ®ndings at EUS, 12 patients underwent resection. Pathology con®rmed the ultrasonographic ®ndings in these patients. Follow-up EUS to monitor lesions was recommended in a further three patients.Conclusion: EUS is safe and provides useful information in many patients with suspected submucosal tumours. EUS may reveal unsuspected ®ndings and can increase physician certainty, allowing accurate diagnosis and facilitation of the management process.
