Stomach, Body, Biopsy: | |||
- Gastric mucosa with INTESTINAL METAPLASIA, | |||
moderate chronic inactive inflammation and atrophic features, SEE COMMENT. | |||
- NEGATIVE for apparent parietal cells, SEE COMMENT. | |||
- NEGATIVE for Helicobacter-like organisms. | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy. | |||
Comment: | |||
Immunostains show rows of Chromogranin A positive cells and a lack of gastrin staining. | |||
These findings suggest an autoimmune (metaplastic atrophic) gastritis; correlation with blood work and clinical findings is recommended. | |||

====Listing the blood work==== | |||
<pre> | |||
If not already done, correlation with blood work (anti-parietal cell antibody, intrinsic factor blocking antibody, gastrin) and clinical findings is recommended. | |||
