Abstract

Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the compressive sonoelastography findings of primary esophageal carcinoma. Materials and methods: esophageal specimens of the patients with a tumor staged earlier than T2, with no lymphadenopathy or distant metastasis, who underwent surgery, were evaluated by compressive sonoelastography under ex vivo conditions immediately following surgical excision. The compressive sonoelastography findings of primary esophageal carcinoma were recorded. Compressive sonoelastography measurements were made according to the esophageal muscle because of lack of fat tissue. Results: the mean elasticity score was 3 +/- 1 (range, 1-9), and the mean strain ratio was 1 +/- 0.9 (range, 0.3-2.9). Conclusion: primary esophageal carcinoma is stiff based on the elasticity score, and it demonstrated a mean strain ratio similar to the esophageal muscle.
