OBJECTIVES
Achilles tendinopathy can be noticed in both acromegaly and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Acromegaly patients presenting with tendinopathy findings may be confused with AS findings. In this study, sonoelastrographic findings of Achilles tendon are explored in patients with AS and acromegaly.
METHODS
25 patients with AS, 30 patients with acromegaly, and 18 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Achilles tendon was evaluated by sonoelastography in all the study participants.
RESULTS
The thickness of Achilles tendon in neutral positions was higher in acromegaly patients than those in AS patients. The sonoelastography measurement of Achilles tendon was increased in acromegaly patients when compared to the control group and AS patients.
CONCLUSION
The thickness of Achilles tendon can increase in patients with acromegaly and AS. However, the sonoelastographic features of Achilles tendon can be similar in patients with AS and acromegaly.
目的
肢端肥大症和强直性脊柱炎（AS）均可出现跟腱病。表现为腱病的肢端肥大症患者可能与 AS 的表现相混淆。本研究旨在探讨 AS 和肢端肥大症患者跟腱的超声弹性成像表现。
方法
本研究纳入了 25 例 AS 患者、30 例肢端肥大症患者和 18 名健康对照者。所有研究参与者均接受了跟腱的超声弹性成像检查。
结果
肢端肥大症患者在中立位时的跟腱厚度高于 AS 患者。与对照组和 AS 患者相比，肢端肥大症患者的跟腱超声弹性成像测量值增加。
结论
肢端肥大症和 AS 患者的跟腱厚度均可增加。然而，AS 和肢端肥大症患者的跟腱超声弹性成像特征可能相似。
