Efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound in the evaluation of small gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Figure 2 Endoscopic ultrasound imaging features were inconsistent with the postoperative pathological results. A: A lesion with a diameter of approximately 2 cm was observed in the gastric fundus using an endoscope; B: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) images were characterized by a hypoechoic mass in the muscularis propria; C: Gastric stromal tumor (intermediate risk). The spindle of the tumor cells is arranged in a spindle and braided pattern with nuclear division of approximately 8/50 high power field. Immunohistochemistry: CD117 (+); CD34 (-); Desmin (-); Dog1 (+); Ki-67 (10%+); smooth muscle actin (-); and S-100 (-); D: A lesion with a diameter of approximately 0.6 cm was observed in the gastric fundus using an endoscope; E: Strong echogenic foci and heterogeneity were observed as characteristics of EUS imaging; F: Gastric stromal tumor (very low risk). The spindle of the tumor cells is arranged in spindle and bundles without obvious nuclear division. Some tissues calcify. Immunohistochemistry: CD117 (+); CD34 (+); Desmin (-); Ki-67 (1%+); smooth muscle actin (+); and S-100 (-).
