Gallbladder tumors are neoplastic lesions; however, it can be difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant gall bladder tumors before surgery, although endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is useful for differentiation. Fundamental B mode EUS (FB-EUS) and contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) are reported to be useful for the diagnosis of gallbladder tumor because they allow evaluation of polypoid lesion and gallbladder wall thickening. Scoring systems based on FB-EUS imaging are available for the diagnosis of malignant gallbladder polypoid lesions. The characteristic findings of malignant gallbladder polypoid lesions on CH-EUS include the presence of irregular intratumoral vessels and perfusion defects. The characteristic findings of malignant gallbladder wall thickening on FB-EUS include wall thickening >12 mm, hypoechoic internal echogenicity, inhomogeneous internal echo pattern, and disrupted wall layer, whereas CH-EUS findings include hypovascular enhancement and inhomogeneous contrast distribution pattern. In addition, FB-EUS and CH-EUS are useful for evaluating the stage of gallbladder carcinoma because they allow the evaluation of the depth of invasion of the gallbladder wall. It is usually difficult to obtain pathological evidence from gallbladder tumors before surgery and chemotherapy, even though the histological diagnosis is necessary for determining treatment policy. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is useful for obtaining pathological samples from gallbladder tumors before surgery and chemotherapy. The accuracy rate of EUS-FNA for gallbladder tumor is as high as 90%, but complications such as bile leakage and needle track seeding can be a problem, although it was reported that contrast-enhanced harmonic imaging is useful for avoiding them.
胆囊肿瘤是肿瘤性病变;然而,术前很难区分良性和恶性胆囊肿瘤,尽管内镜超声(EUS)有助于鉴别。据报道,基础B型EUS(FB-EUS)和对比增强谐波EUS(CH-EUS)对胆囊肿瘤的诊断有用,因为它们可以评估息肉样病变和胆囊壁增厚情况。基于FB-EUS成像的评分系统可用于诊断恶性胆囊息肉样病变。CH-EUS上恶性胆囊息肉样病变的特征性表现包括肿瘤内不规则血管和灌注缺损。FB-EUS上恶性胆囊壁增厚的特征性表现包括壁增厚>12mm、内部回声低、内部回声不均匀以及壁层中断,而CH-EUS表现包括血管增强不足和对比剂分布不均匀。此外,FB-EUS和CH-EUS对评估胆囊癌分期有用,因为它们可以评估胆囊壁的浸润深度。术前和化疗前通常很难从胆囊肿瘤中获得病理证据,尽管组织学诊断对于确定治疗策略是必要的。EUS引导下细针穿刺抽吸(EUS-FNA)有助于在手术和化疗前从胆囊肿瘤中获取病理样本。EUS-FNA对胆囊肿瘤的准确率高达90%,但胆汁漏和针道种植等并发症可能是个问题,尽管有报道称对比增强谐波成像有助于避免这些并发症。
