Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The sonographic findings in 17 patients with duodenal tumors and in one patient with a benign ulcer and stricture of the duodenum were reviewed. An abdominal mass was detected sonographically in all patients; in 15 of 18 cases, such lesions presented high-level central echoes and hypoechoic periphery. Identification of the duodenal origin of the disease was possible by sonography in only 16 of 18 patients: by evaluation of the relationship of the mass with abdominal vessels in eight patients; by demonstrating that the lesion was continuous with a normal duodenum in seven patients; or by demonstrating the mass within the duodenum itself in one patient. Signs and symptoms of duodenal tumors are usually nonspecific, and sonography can be used as the first imaging method in these cases. A careful analysis of the relationship of the tumor to surrounding structures may allow correct identification of its origin. |
