ETIOLOGIES AND CLINICAL CHARASTERISTICS OF CEPHALITIS IN CHILDREN OF AN GIANG PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To identify imaging characteristics of endoscopic and endoscopic ultrasonography for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in gastric. Subjects and methods: Patients who had gastric stromal tumors diagnosed by Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) or surgery were enrolled. The EUS images, procedure records and tissue histopathology were reviewed. All patients were positive for C-kit, CD34. Results: Of the 28 patients enrolled, 10 were males, and 18 were females. The mean size of lesion was 3.94 ± 0.73 cm (ranged from 1.8 to 6.2 cm). In total, 75%, 21.4%, and 3.6 % tumors originated from muscularis mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis propria, respectively. 50% and 46.4% of these lesions were characterized by hypoechoic, heterogeneous respectively. Conclusion: The preliminary results show that most of the GISTs originated from muscularis mucosa with characterized by hypoechoic.
