Calcifications are a rare finding described in benign and malignant tumors located in any site of the body. Their presence in stomach and colon carcinomas is very rare. Most of the cases described are mucinous adenocarcinomas. We present the case of one patient with this disease studied with endoscopic ultrasonography. There were punctate calcifications in the submucosa layer that tended to take on a crown-like shape in the outer-most area, producing an acoustic shadow. The pathological study of the surgical specimen showed amorphic calcifications inside some mucin lakes. More cases need to be studied with this technique in order to define their endosonographic characteristics.
钙化是在身体任何部位的良性和恶性肿瘤中均有描述的罕见表现。它们在胃癌和结肠癌中非常罕见。所描述的大多数病例为黏液腺癌。我们报告一例通过内镜超声检查研究的该疾病患者。黏膜下层存在点状钙化，在最外层区域倾向于呈冠状，产生声影。手术标本的病理研究显示一些黏液湖中存在无定形钙化。需要用这种技术研究更多病例，以确定其内镜超声特征。
