Case description

The diagnosis of diffuse type gastric carcinoma is very difficult. The delay of diagnosis is often due to false-negative endoscopic and histologic evaluation. The architecture of the stomach can be clearly visualized by endosonography. Therefore, already minor destructions of the gastric layers can be found. The endosonographic picture includes the presence of the layers, which are larger and of irregular contour. In infiltrating gastric cancer typically the submucosal layer and the muscularis are concentrically enlarged and appear folded.
