Atrophic gastritides. Normal stomach. Body mucosa: Pit:gland 1:3-4. Anral mucosa: pit:gland 1:1. Every mucosa has glands and pits. The antral and body mucosae differ in the type of glands and the thickness of the glands compared to the pits. What is “atrophy” in the stomach?. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

In 2008 an international group mainly of pathologists defined atrophy in the stomach as

the “loss of appropriate glands”

This means, oxyntic glands in the body mucosa and mucus glands in the antral mucosa. Metaplasias may replace glands, but the appropriate glands are lost.

Since this biopsy only has Since this biopsy only has mucus glands which is mucus glands which is characteristic of antral mucosa, characteristic of antral mucosa, we have to determine whether we have to determine whether this is antral mucosa or body this is antral mucosa or body mucosa with metaplastic mucus mucosa with metaplastic mucus glands and no body glands. glands and no body glands. There are 2 ways of proving thisThere are 2 ways of proving this..

Gastrin producing cells (G cells) Gastrin producing cells (G cells) only occur in antral mucosa. only occur in antral mucosa. If the gastrin stain is negative, then If the gastrin stain is negative, then that is great evidence that the biopsy that is great evidence that the biopsy did not come from antral mucosa did not come from antral mucosa but from body mucosa.but from body mucosa.
