Abstract
Transcutaneous ultrasonography is an inadequate investigation for the detection of lymph nodes along the gastrointestinal tract because of the interfering intestinal gas and ribs. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) enables visualization of intestinal abnormalities together with adjacent lymph nodes [1–11]. The purpose of this study was to discuss our experience in detecting and staging lymph node abnormalities in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
