Case report: Ultrasound diagnosis of a complicated case of gastric lymphoma misdiagnosed as cirrhosis
Dayan Yang, Lini Gao
TL;DR
This case report describes how ultrasound helped diagnose a complex gastric lymphoma that was initially mistaken for cirrhosis.
Contribution
The paper highlights the diagnostic value of ultrasound in a challenging gastric lymphoma case misdiagnosed by other methods.
Findings
CT and endoscopy failed to provide a timely diagnosis of the gastric lymphoma.
Ultrasound successfully identified the gastric lymphoma and enabled treatment planning.
Abstract
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most common primary site for extranodal lymphomas. The use of ultrasonography for diagnosing gastric lymphomas can be challenging, but ultrasonography still offers some unique advantages in the diagnosis of GI lymphomas. Here, we report a case of gastric lymphoma in a patient with an extensive lesion in which the tumor was complexed with the abdominal organs. CT and endoscopy failed to definitively diagnose the condition in a timely manner. The gastric lymphoma was finally diagnosed with ultrasonography and a treatment plan was implemented.
