Compare and contrast the normal histologic features of the esophageal and gastric mucosa in this section for the GE junction. The esophagus is composed of a non-keratinizing squamous mucous. The gastric mucosa is a columnar mucosa with glands.

CASE 2CHIEF COMPLAINT: “I feel like my stomach is burning after
I drink coffee or eat.”HISTORY: A 54 year-old male presents with burning epigastric
pain radiating to the chest. The pain is worse post-prandially or in a supine position. He says he frequently has a “sour” taste in his mouth and feels better after taking an antacid.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Vital signs: BP 130/90, HR 90/min, RR 18/min, T 98°F The patient is an obese male, alert and in no apparent distress, who uses an open hand to indicate the area of burning pain in his upper abdomen. The abdomen is soft and non-tender with no palpable masses or organomegaly. Rectal exam is done – stool is brown and occult blood negative.
![Page 9: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
List at four key findings of the history and physical that may help you to create a
differential diagnosis?
• Epigastric pain associated with eating / lying down
• Symptoms improved with antacids
• Obese, male
• Stool is negative for occult blood

Describe the histologic findings seen here.
• Esophagus with glandular epithelium replacing non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium
• The lamina propria and submucosa contain an infiltrate of mononuclear inflammatory cells
![Page 21: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 22: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is your diagnosis?
• Reflux - chronic esophagitis – Barrett esophagus– Barrett esophagus - columnar epithelium
replaces normal squamous epithelium of distal esophagus; “metaplasia”
– “Metaplasia” of squamous mucosa to glandular mucosa occurs in up to 11% of symptomatic patients.
![Page 23: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What complication(s) can occur with these diagnoses?
• Low, high grade dysplasia (clinical intervention required in high grade dysplasia)– Periodic screening for high grade dysplasia
with esophageal biopsy recommend for patients with Barrett’s
• Adenocarcinoma (30-40 fold increased rate over general population, usually in patients with > 2 cm of Barrett’s mucosa)
![Page 24: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

CASE 4 • CHIEF COMPLAINT: “Food sticks in my throat when I
swallow.” • HISTORY: 72 year-old male has dysphagia which
gradually progressed from solids to soft foods then to liquids. He has fatigue and a 20 lb weight loss over 6 months.

Describe the histologic findings seen in the
sections taken from the specimen.
• Atypical keratin forming squamous cells infiltrating into the mucosa
• Focal intravascular invasion by atypical squamous cells
![Page 32: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is your diagnosis? • Squamous cell carcinoma: most occur in middle third of tube
– Three morphologic patterns:• protruded/polypoid 60%• diffuse infiltrative/thickened wall 15%• excavated/necrotic ulcer 25%
![Page 33: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Correlate the following clinical findings with the pathology
• Difficulty passing food: Bulky neoplasms obstruct lumen of esophagus causing solid food to pass with difficulty.
• Cervical lymphadenopathy:due to metastasis of tumor to lymph nodes
• Weight loss: Impaired nutrition + malignancy = weight loss (cancer cachexia)
• Microcytic anemia: (iron deficiency?) may be from ulceration and bleeding of mass
![Page 34: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What are risk factors the for development of this lesion?
• Lifestyle– Tobacco, alcohol
• In the United States and western Europe, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are major risk factors for esophageal squamous cell cancer
• Dietary / Exposure factors – High nitrosamines/nitrites, nutritional deficiencies, fugus-
contaminated foods, polycyclic hydrocarbons, hot beverages, previous radiation to area
• Esophageal disorders – Esophagitis, achalasia, Plummer-Vinson syndrome
• Genetic predisposition– Long-standing celiac disease, racial predisposition– Tylosis – a rare disease associated with hyperkeratosis of the
palms of the hands and soles of the feet and a high rate of esophageal squamous cancers
![Page 35: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Compare the Epidemiology of Squamous Cell Carcinoma vs Adenocarcinoma of the
Esophagus• World-wide squamous cell carcinomas constitute
90% of all esophageal cancers– The highest rates are found in Asia (particularly in
China and Singapore), Africa, and Iran
• In the United States, adenocarcinoma now represents up to half (or more) of all reported esophageal cancers, and the incidence has been increasing– The majority of cases of adenocarcinoma arise from
Barrett mucosa

Helicobacter pylori
• Small curved gram negative bacillus that colonizes the mucus layer of the stomach.adheres to the foveolar glands– Predominantly antral gastritis – Flagella, urease, adhesins, and toxins have all
been linked to virulence
![Page 47: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Describe the test available for the previous findings?
• Histology– H&E, Giemsa stains
• Biopsy Urease Testing– CLO (Campylobacter-like Organism) test
• Biopsied gastric tissue placed in agar well containing urea and a pH reagent
• Urease cleaves urea to liberate ammonia, producing an alkaline pH and resultant color change
• Serology– ELISA based detection of IgG or IgA Ab
![Page 48: GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY LAB I January 10, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e0c5503460f94af46dc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Diagnostic Testing for H. pylori
• Urea breath test– Based upon hydrolysis of urea by H. pylori to
produce CO2 and ammonia• Labeled carbon isotope is given by mouth
• H. pylori liberates tagged CO2, which can be detected in breath samples
• Stool antigen detection
