Overview
There are no echocardiography associated with linitis plastica. Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of poorly differentiated linitis plastica. Findings on an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) suggestive of linitis plastica include signet ring cells.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with linitis plastica. However, EUS-FNA may be helpful in diagnosis of poorly differentiated linitis plastica.[1]
- Findings suggestive of linitis plastica include:
- Signet ring cells
