Abstract

Background/aims: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the rarely seen tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to review the patients diagnosed as upper gastrointestinal stromal tumor by endoscopic ultrasonography. Methods: Twenty-five patients diagnosed as upper gastrointestinal stromal tumor, between 1999 and 2004, were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The reason for performing upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy was nonspecific upper gastrointestinal system symptoms in most (76%) of the patients. The other causes were upper gastrointestinal bleeding and dysphagia in 16% and 8% of the cases, respectively. Lesions were located in the stomach in 17 (68%), in the esophagus in six (24%), and in the duodenum in two (8%) patients. Endoscopic ultrasonographic evaluation revealed that all of the lesions arose from the muscularis propria. In 18 (72%) patients, tumors were less than 3 cm in diameter, homogeneous and hypoechoic in appearance with regular borders, concordant with benign tumor. In five (20%) patients, lesions had heterogeneous echoic appearance with anechoic spaces, two of which were larger than 3 cm and also showed irregular borders, suggesting malignancy. Surgical therapy was performed in five (20%) patients because of upper gastrointestinal bleeding or suspicion of malignancy by endoscopic ultrasonographic evaluation. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis in all these patients. Conclusions: Endoscopic ultrasonographic evaluation is very useful in diagnosis and for choosing the therapeutic method for patients with upper gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Özet

Amaç: Gastrointestinal stromal tümörler gastrointestinal traktüsün nadir görülen tümörlerindendir. Bu çalışmada endoskopik ultrasonografi ile üst gastrointestinal stromal tümör tanısı alan hastalarımızın değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: 1999-2004 yılları arasında üst gastrointestinal stromal tümör tanısı alan 25 hasta retrospektif olarak irdelenmiştir. Bulgular: Olguların %76’sına nonspesifik üst gastrointestinal sistem yakınmaları, %16’sına üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması, %8’ine ise disfaji nedeniyle üst gastrointestinal sistem endoskopisi uygulanmıştır. Lezyonların 17 (%68)’si midede, 6 (%24)’sı özofagusta ve 2 (%8)’si de duodenumda saptanmıştır. Endoskopik ultrasonografik incelemede lezyonların tümünün muskularis propria tabakasından kaynaklandığı görülmüştür. Hastaların 18 (%72)’inde benign tümörle uyumlu olarak, tümör çapının 3cm’den küçük, homojen ve hipoekoik yapıda ve düzgün kenarlı olduğu saptanmıştır. 5 (%20) hastada ise lezyonun heterojen eko yapıda ve anekoik alanlar içerdiği saptanmış, ayrıca bunların 2’sinin de maligniteyi düşündürecek şekilde 3cm’den büyük olup düzensiz kenarlara sahip olduğu dikkati çekmiştir. Endoskopik ultrasonografik değerlendirmede maligniteden kuşkulanılan veya üst gastrointestinal sistem kanaması ile başvuran 5 (%20) hastaya cerrahi tedavi uygulanmıştır. Bu hastaların tümünde histopatolojik olarak tanı doğrulanmıştır. Sonuç: Üst gastrointestinal stromal tümörlerin tanısında ve tedavi seçiminde endoskopik ultrasonografi oldukça yararlı bir inceleme yöntemidir.
