Background: Diseases of gastrointestinal tract are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study was carried out to determine the spectrum of histopathological lesions of upper gastrointestinal tract. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at North East Medical College, Sylhet, Bangladesh during a 36 months period from January 2013 to December 2015. Endoscopies were performed using Olympus 150, forward viewing upper GI endoscope. The biopsy specimens received were fixed in 10.0% formalin and routinely processed in Haematoxyline & Eosin stain. Results: The present study included 135 endoscopic biopsies. The mean age with SD of the study population was 53.20±16.09 years. Among 53 cases of esophageal biopsies 8(15.08%) cases showed non-neoplastic lesions and 45(84.92%) cases were neoplastic of which 39(73.6%) cases and 6(11.32%) cases were squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma respectively. Among 6 cases of gastro esophageal junction biopsies 3(50%) cases showed non-neoplastic lesions and 3(50%) were neoplastic, of which 2(33.33%) were adenocarcinoma and 1(16.67%) were squamous cell carcinoma. Among 61 cases of stomach biopsies 34(55.74%) showed non-neoplastic lesions and 27(44.26%) were neoplastic, of which 1(1.64%) case was adenoma and 25(40.98%) were adenocarcinoma. Among 15 cases of duodenal biopsies 13(86.67%) cases showed non-neoplastic lesions and 2(13.33%) were neoplastic one of which was adenocarcinoma (6.67%). Among 135 cases endoscopist reported 82(60.74%) cases as neoplastic and 53(39.26%) as non-neoplastic, whereas histopathology revealed 77(57.03%) cases neoplastic and 58(42.97%) cases non-neoplastic. Conclusion: Common site of upper GIT endoscopic biopsy is stomach which are mostly neoplastic lesion; however, most common malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus.

Background: Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders are one of the most commonly encountered problems in the clinical practice. A variety of disorders can affect the upper gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopy, in combination with biopsy, plays an important role in the exact diagnosis for further management.Objectives: To determine the spectrum of histopathological lesions of upper gastrointestinal tract.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal from January 2015 to December 2016 (2 years).Results: A total 243 endoscopic biopsies were evaluated. Out of which, 219 cases were from gastric, 15 were from esophagus and 9 were from duodenum. Among the gastric biopsies, 77 cases (35.16%) were chronic active gastritis and 27 cases (12.33%) were malignant. The most common malignancy was adenocarcinoma. Among the 15 oesophageal biopsies, 12 cases (80%) were of non-neoplastic and 3 cases (20%) were of neoplastic nature. The most common malignancy was squamous cell carcinoma. Among 9 cases of duodenum biopsies, all were non-neoplastic, of which chronic non-specific duodenitis (66.66%) was the commonest.Conclusion: Endoscopy is incomplete without histopathological examination of biopsy and so, the combinations of methods play an important role in diagnosis and management of upper gastrointestinal tract disorders.Journal of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2018, Page: 67-74

Background: There are many benign and malignant lesions occur in upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Endoscopic biopsy followed by histopathological examination is the gold standard for the diagnosis of these lesions.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine patterns of benign and malignant lesionsof upper GIT.Materials & Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the department of Pathology, Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital (KYAMCH), Sirajgonj from January 2014 to December 2016. All the upper GIT endoscopic biopsy specimens were included in the study.Results: A total of 344 endoscopic biopsies are studied, of which male cases were 234 (68.0%) and female were 110 (32.0%) with M: F of 2.1:1. The age (mean ± sd) of patients was 53.29 ± 15.33 years. Stomach was the most frequent site (77.9%) followed by oesophagus (16.8%) and duodenum (5.3%). The significant diagnostic findings showed malignancies 190(55.2%) followed by inflammation 73 (21.2%) and ulcer 33 (9.6%).Conclusion: For any suspicious lesions in upper GIT, endoscopy followed by histopathological examination should be done for early diagnosis as well as management.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-1, April 2018, Page 20-23

A 56-year-old woman was noted to have a 5 cm to 6 cm long, irregular narrowing of the distal esophagus on an upper gastrointestinal series. Initial endoscopy revealed a polypoid mass in the distal esophagus and concurrent endoscopic ultrasound revealed changes typical of inflammation but no evidence of an obvious neoplastic process. Repeated biopsies revealed only inflammation with no evidence of malignancy. Only after prolonged acid suppression did biopsies reveal verrucous carcinoma of the esophagus. The patient underwent a trans-hiatal esophagectomy and has remained well with no evidence of progression since. Verrucous carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, taking on a papillary or warty appearance grossly. Histological diagnosis may be difficult because this tumour typically shows no high-grade dysplasia. Therefore, diagnosis can be challenging, often requiring multiple sets of endoscopic biopsies due to the overlying hyperkeratotic layer. Of the 20 cases that have been reported, this is the second to provide an endosonographic description and the first to describe a change in endoscopic appearance with acid suppression.
