Calcifications are a rare finding described in benign and malignant tumors located in any site of the body. Their presence in stomach and colon carcinomas is very rare. Most of the cases described are mucinous adenocarcinomas. We present the case of one patient with this disease studied with endoscopic ultrasonography. There were punctate calcifications in the submucosa layer that tended to take on a crown-like shape in the outer-most area, producing an acoustic shadow. The pathological study of the surgical specimen showed amorphic calcifications inside some mucin lakes. More cases need to be studied with this technique in order to define their endosonographic characteristics.

D019160 Endosonography Ultrasonography of internal organs using an ultrasound transducer sometimes mounted on a fiberoptic endoscope. In endosonography the transducer converts electronic signals into acoustic pulses or continuous waves and acts also as a receiver to detect reflected pulses from within the organ. An audiovisual-electronic interface converts the detected or processed echo signals, which pass through the electronics of the instrument, into a form that the technologist can evaluate. The procedure should not be confused with ENDOSCOPY which employs a special instrument called an endoscope. The "endo-" of endosonography refers to the examination of tissue within hollow organs, with reference to the usual ultrasonography procedure which is performed externally or transcutaneously.
