ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Diseases of upper gastrointestinal tract are responsible for a great deal of morbidity and mortality. The histopathological study of endoscopic biopsies permits exact diagnosis for further management.The aim of this study is to ï¬nd out the histopathological pattern of endoscopic biopsy.METHODS:
A descriptive study was conducted in consecutive endoscopic gastric biopsies in a Hospital over a period of one year. The patient of all ages and both sexes who underwent gastric biopsy during the study period was included.RESULTS:
Endoscopic biopsies were studied on patients of age ranging from 20 years female to 84 years male. The histopathology revealed non-neoplastic lesions 54 (67.5%) and neoplastic lesions 26 (32.5%). Most common non-neoplastic lesion noted was mild chronic gastritis 22(27.5%) followed by chronic active gastritis 15 (18.75%) while H. pylori was present in 13 (16.25%) and absent in 2 (2.5%).CONCLUSIONS:
Mild chronic gastritis was the commonest lesion noted in non-neoplastic lesions and adenocarcinoma was the commonest neoplastic lesion in the endoscopic gastric biopsies.
