“…Most cases (>70%) present before age 3, with <10% diagnosed after age 7 2 . US is the method of choice for diagnosis given it is a nonradiation based, dynamic study that demonstrates characteristic features including a laminar or layered cyst wall with alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic layers (“gut signature sign”) 3 . EDCs contain the same multilayered wall architecture as the normal GT, so identification of all five layers in a cyst on US is pathognomonic.…”
