Sonographic diagnosis of recurrent ulcer penetrating the anterior abdominal wall

We report two rare cases of penetration of the anterior abdominal wall by gastric peptic ulcers. The full diagnosis was made by ultrasound, which showed similar findings: sharply delineated, hyperechoic craters clearly traversing the gastric wall and covered by hypoechoic inflammatory components of the abdominal wall. Because ultrasound is increasingly used as a primary procedure for evaluation of abdominal complaints, efforts should be directed toward exploring the accessible portions of the gastric and duodenal walls to detect peptic ulcer disease and its complications.
