Intestinal metaplasia of the renal pelvis.
Received July 2009 Accepted January 2010 INTRODUCTION Renal pelvis is normally lined by urothelium and contains neither squamous nor intestinal epithelium. However, transitional cell epithelium undergoes phenotypic changes usually in the form of squamous metaplasia.(1) We report a rare case of intestinal metaplasia of the renal pelvis with cytokeratin profile and assessment of the tumor markers...
متن کاملIs intestinal metaplasia of the stomach reversible?
Intestinal metaplasia (IM) of the stomach is a risk factor in developing intestinal-type gastric cancer and hence the question of reversibility is vital. There is emerging epidemiological evidence that with long term follow up, IM may be reversible although a combination of antioxidant agents and eradication of H pylori may be necessary to achieve this. The pathogenesis of IM is currently being...
متن کاملHistopathogenesis of intestinal metaplasia: minute lesions of intestinal metaplasia in ulcerated stomachs.
Minute lesions of intestinal metaplasia composed of a few metaplastic tubules were observed in the gastric mucosa during routine histological examination of gastrectomy specimens. The histological findings indicated that these lesions might be an initial stage of more advanced intestinal metaplasia. Accordingly, more than 18,000 serial sections in 10 stomachs with chronic ulcers were examined t...
متن کاملSubtypes of intestinal metaplasia and Helicobacter pylori.
To determine whether there is a relationship between the presence of H pylori and the various subtypes of intestinal metaplasia in the gastric antrum, 2274 antral gastroscopic biopsies from 533 patients were examined. H pylori was found in 289 patients. Intestinal metaplasia in general was found in 135 patients. Type I intestinal metaplasia was found in 133 patients (98.5%), type II in 106 pati...
متن کاملRole of intestinal metaplasia in the histogenesis of gastric carcinoma.
Recent evidence suggests that intestinal metaplasia (IM) cannot be regarded as a single entity. A simple classification of IM and its variants based on histological and mucin histochemical criteria was devised, and the incidence of IM subtypes in cancerous and benign gastrectomy specimens was recorded. A particular subtype was associated with 'intestinal' cancers but not with tumours considered...
