Abstract:Abstract: Objective To find out different endoscopic ultrasonography image characteristics of different invasive risk of gastric stromal tumors. Method The data of 286 patients of gastric stromal tumors that diagnosed by pathology and immunohistochemistry from three hospitals in Wenzhou were investigated retrospectively. Gastric stromal tumors were divided into very low risk group, low risk group, intermediate risk group and high risk group according to tumor size and mitosis, compared of clinical data and endoscopic ultrasonography image characteristics for different invasive risk of gastric stromal tumors, looked for differences and analyzed related risk factors. Results About 286 patients of gastric stromal tumor, most of them have regular shapes (262/286), originating from stomach muscularis propria (219/286), and the lesions always showed up hypoechoic (254/286), homogeneous echo (212/286), clear border (264/286); partial of calcification (79/286), ulcers (75/286) as well as cystic degeneration (54/286). And 60 patients were divided into very low risk group (20.98 %), 112 patients of low risk group (39.16 %), 73 patients of intermediate risk group (25.52 %), 41 patients of high risk group (14.34 %). Univariate analysis showed the performances of ulcer, heterogeneous echoes, calcification and cystic degeneration were more common in higher invasive risk groups; then multivariate analysis showed ulcer (OR = 2.44, 95%CI: 1.36 ~ 3.18) was the unique independent risk factor to predicting invasive risk of gastric stromal tumors (P < 0.05). Conclusion The performance of ultrasound endoscopic image for different invasive risk of gastric stromal tumors was different; despite of tumor size and mitosis, ulcer was also prognostic significance of invasive risk of gastric stromal tumors.
