Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound is able to discriminate benign submucosal lesions from gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Although endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has improved the diagnostic of potential malignancies, gastric lesions with suspicion of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) or benign lesions like lipoma or leiomyoma can often not be accurately differentiated by EUS, therefore, requiring tissue sampling with the risk of bleeding complications especially in GIST. As with the newest generation of EUS machines, contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CEH-EUS) has become a new option to determine perfusion characteristics. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate whether CEH-EUS may help to discriminate various submucosal lesions. METHODS:Data sets of 17 patients with suspicious gastric or esophageal lesions, who were investigated with CEH-EUS were analyzed. Perfusion characteristics were classified by the investigator immediately and statistically analyzed after investigation. Samples from EUS-fine needle aspirates, biopsy samples after needle cut or surgical specimen served as gold standard. RESULTS:CEH-EUS showed nine lesions with reduced contrast enhancement (maximum intensity 6.2 ± 1.9 db) and eight lesions with hyperenhancement (47.3 ± 11.6 db). The latter eight lesions were all histologically identified as GIST, while the nine hypoenhanced lesions emerged to be four lipoma and five leiomyoma. Statistical analysis corresponded with initial perfusion classification in all cases. CONCLUSION:This is the first study showing that CEH-EUS can discriminate GIST from benign lesions with good accuracy. In the future, CEH-EUS-guided discrimination may lead to individualized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in handling submucosal lesions.
