local inflammatory processes in the gastric mucosa are followed by extensive immune cell infiltration, resulting in chronic active gastritis characterized by a marked infiltration of t(h)1 cytokine-producing cd4+ and cd8+t-cells objective. to investigate the correlation between cd4+/cd8+ t-cells in gastric mucosa with endoscopic appearance in chronic gastritis with or without h.pylori infection...

Introduction: Heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst of the oral cavity is an extremely rare lesion with fewer than 40 cases reported in the English literature. It usually involves the soft tissue covering the floor of the mouth and the tongue. Lining of this lesion resembles gastric or intestinal mucosa. Case Report: In this report we describe the lesion in two boys and discuss their pathogenesis.

Gastric carcinosarcoma is a rare cancer of adults with poor prognosis compared with other gastric malignancies. To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first case of gastric carcinosarcoma with chondroblastic differentiation in Iran. A 63-year-old man with epigastric pain was admitted to the surgery department. Abdominopelvic CT-scan showed a hypodense mass lesion in distal gast...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to prospectively evaluate the effect of various positions of the patient on gastric distension and lesion conspicuity during performance of CT gastrography (CTG). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred thirteen consecutive patients with gastric cancer underwent CTG in the 30 degrees left posterior oblique (LPO), supine, and prone positions. Two radiologists scored (a grade from...

Brunnoma, is a benign tumor of duodenal wall. Usually present with anaemia. Endoscopy stomach and duodenum gives the diagnosis. Pedunculated lesion best managed by endoscopic snare cautery excision. Lesion close to pylorus makes endoscopy difficult. Hence mini-laparotomy, trans-gastric three port endo-luminal harmonic excision was done safely. Keyword: brunnoma, anaemia, endoluminal surgery

Background and study aims: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare lesions that develop from neuroendocrine cells. NETs are classified into 3 types based on the rate of mitosis and Ki-67 labeling index; the NET G1 type is synonymously referred to as carcinoid. Gastric NETs are usually discovered as submucosal tumors during upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination. This study reports ...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become the treatment of choice for early gastric cancer. Accurate identification of tumor borders is crucial for curative ESD. Narrow band imaging magnification endoscopy (NBI-ME) has been effectively used for assessment of superficial gastric lesions; however, international experience in type "0-IIb" gastric lesions is limited. Successful endoscopic t...

Gastric protruding lesions are frequently encountered by health screening esophagogastroduodenoscopy. They can be classified into epithelial lesion and subepithelial lesion. Epithelial gastric lesions are generally divided into benign and malignant. Benign lesions include some types of polyps, i.e., hyperplastic polyp, fundic gland polyp, and gastric adenoma. Malignant lesions include carcinoid...
