Table 2. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography of acinar cell carcinoma analyzed using elastic score and contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS.
Patient 1 | Patient 2 | Patient 3 | Patient 4 | Patient 5 | |
Elastography pattern | Score 3 | Score 3 | Score 5 | Score 5 | Not performed |
Contrast enhanced harmonic EUS | Slightly decreased enhancement at 1 min, followed by a continuously increasing enhancement at 3 to 5 min | Uniformly increasing enhancement | Strong continuous enhancement | Early enhancement within 1 min, followed by washout to hypovascular | Early enhancement, followed by gradual decrease after 1 min |
