ENDOSCOPY AND ENDOSONOGRAPHY:
IMPRESSION:
- Non-bleeding large cratered gastric ulcer. Biopsied.
- A mass was found in the antrum of the stomach. This was staged T3. The staging applies if malignancy is confirmed.
ENDOSCOPIC FINDING: One non-bleeding cratered gastric ulcer was found in the gastric antrum. It appeared to encompass the entire antrum. Biopsies were taken with a cold forceps for histology. The ulcer resulted in antral deformity and the pylorus was not able to be found.
ENDOSONOGRAPHIC FINDING: :A hypoechoic mass was identified endosonographically in the antrum of the stomach. The endosonographic borders were well-defined. There was sonographic evidence suggesting invasion into the muscularis propria (Layer 4).
