Stomach is an important organ for pathologists. It is often inflamed and may be a site that cancer arises from. Gastroenterologists often biopsy the organ. Surgeon take-out the organ. It connects the esophagus to the duodenum. An introduction to gastrointestinal pathology is in the gastrointestinal pathology article.

Normal stomach

Gross anatomy

Cardia - first part of the stomach; joins with esophagus.
Fundus - superior portion - not attached directly to the esophagus.
Body - contains parietal cells.
Pylorus - distal (think pyloric stenosis); it joins with the duodenum.
- AKA antrum.

Microscopic

Foveolar cells versus intestinal goblet cells

Intestinal goblet cells - clear mucin.
Foveolar cells - eosinophilic contents.

Stomach versus intestine

A tabular comparison:^[1]

Feature	Intestine	Stomach
Spacing	Goblets cell - spaced	Foveolar cells - beside one another
Morphology of epithelial cells	columnar	tall columnar (Champagne flute)
Vesicle at luminal surface	touching/small opening	wide open
PAS-D	-ve (???)	+ve^[2]
Villin stain^[3]^[4]	+ve	-ve
Images	Tubular adenoma - goblet cells on right of image (WC)	Gastric biopsy (microscopy-uk.org.uk), Stomach with cancer - PAS (WC), Stomach (WC)

Notes:

Intraepithelial lymphocytes in the gastric mucosa have a clear halo around 'em.^[5]
Memory device: Folveolar cells have friends, i.e. they are close to other foveolar cells.

Gastric antrum versus gastric body

Cell	Body	Antrum	Histology	Image
Parietal cell	abundant	few or none	parietal cells: intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm	[1], [2]
Chief cell	present	absent	chief cells: basophilic cytoplasm, IHC: +ve for pepsinogen I	[3]
G cell	absent	present	fried egg appearance (clear cytoplasm, round nucleus); look at high power - usu. middle 1/3 of gland,^[6] IHC: +ve for gastrin.	[4]
Surface	flat	blunted villi	antrum is somewhat duodenum-like	body - flat
Gastric glands / mucosa	thick	thin	not so useful for discrimination	body - thick, body & antrum

Notes:

G cells may superficially resemble intraepithelial lymphocytes.
- G cell nucleus is usu. perfectly round and slightly larger (diameter of 12 micrometers?) than a lymphocyte nucleus (diameter ~ 9-10 micrometers?).

Introduction

Useful stains for stomach

Cresyl violet stain^[7] - used to find H. pylori.^[8]
Alcian blue stain - used to find mucin^[9] which is present in intestinal metaplasia
- Other mucins stains:^[10] mucicarmine, PAS, PASD (doesn't stain glycogen)

Things to look for...

Parietal cells (indicate you're in the body of the stomach) - pink (eosinophilic) cytoplasm.
- Lack of parietal cells -- DDx: Bx of antrum (pylorus), Bx of cardia, pernicious anemia.
Goblet cells = intestinal metaplasia.
Architectural distortion of gastric glands - suspect cancer.
Signet ring cells = (usually) gastric carcinoma.
- Can be very easy to miss in some biopsies.
Inflammation + small bacteria = suspect H. pylori gastritis.

Some patterns

Gastric atrophy

General

Has a wide differential diagnosis.

Microscopic

Can take three general forms:

Intestinal metaplasia - see intestinal metaplasia section.
Pseudopyloric metaplasia; gastric body looks like gastric antrum.
- Characterized by foveolar hyperplasia.
Cell loss without replacement.
- Clue is deep inflammation in the body.

Plasma cells in the stomach

DDx of plasmacytosis:

Granulomatous gastritis

Usual DDx of granulomatous disease (see Basics article):
- DNF AAII:
  - Drugs, Neoplasms, Foreign body, Autoimmune, Allergic, Infectious, Idiopathic.

Important ones:

Autoimmune - Crohn's disease.
Infectious - Tuberculosis.
Idiopathic - Sarcoidosis.

Non-neoplastic disease

Peptic ulcer disease

Abbreviated PUD.

For duodenal manifestations see Peptic duodenitis.

General

Benign.

Complications:

Hemorrhage.
Obstruction.
Perforation - can be fatal.

Etiology - typically:^[11]

Helicobacter pylori.

Gross

Features:

Typically in the duodenum; duodenum:stomach = ~4:1.
- Epithelial defect with punched-out edges (suggestive of a benign process).

Note:

A specific cause is uncommonly identified histologically.

Gastritis causes:^[12]

Infectious:
- H. pylori infection.
- Tuberculosis.
- Salmonellosis.
- CMV.
Endocrine-related:
- Pernicious anemia.
- Diabetes mellitus - gastric atony.
Trauma, e.g. NG tube.
Vascular, ischemia.
Autoimmune:

- Smoking (heavy).
Radiation.

Endoscopic appearance

Erythematous.

Microscopic

Inflammatory cells - see below.

Acute gastritis

AKA active gastritis.

Features:

Neutrophils - especially when intraepithelial.

Focal active gastritis

DDx:

Drugs,^[13] esp. NSAIDs.
Infectious.
Inflammatory bowel disease.

Chronic gastritis

Features:

Plasma cells (in lamina propria).
- Various criteria:
  1. Two plasma cells kissing, i.e. two plasma cells touching/overlapping.
  2. Three is a crowd, i.e. three plasma cells in close proximity.

Note:

Approximately 20% of cases with an inflamed cardia will have intestinal metaplasia.^[14]

Lymphocytic gastritis

General

The DDx is limited:

Microscopic

Features:^[15]

25 lymphocytes / 100 epithelial cells.

Sydney criteria for gastritis

A bunch of pathologists in Sydney came-up with criteria... and these were revised in Houston.^[16]

Classification

Updated Sydney classification:^[16]

Feature	Non-atrophic Helicobacter	Atrophic Helicobacter	Autoimmune
Inflammation pattern	antral or diffuse	antrum & corpus, mild inflammation	corpus only
Atrophy & metaplasia	nil	atrophy present, metaplasia at incisura	corpus only

Notes:

Corpus = gastric body.
Incisura = angular incisure, incisura angularis (Latin) - notched transition point on lesser curvature of the stomach between pylorus and body.^[17]

Severity

The Sydney group suggests grading severity with the following language:^[16]

Mild.
Moderate.
Marked.

These terms are applied to the parameters described in a biopsy. The Sydney criteria lists H. pylori, neutrophils, mononuclear cells, antrum (atrophy), corpus (atrophy) and intestinal metaplasia. The paper that discusses this also give a visual analogue scale.

Parameters & Severity (adapted from Dixon et al.^[16]):

Feature	Mild	Moderate	Marked
H. pylori	few touching	many touching	piles
Neutrophils	few	bunches	crowded
Mononuclear cells	not touching	kissing	partying

The sections show gastric body type mucosa with small clusters of plasma cells. There are no intraepithelial neutrophils. Goblet cells are not identified. The epithelium matures normally to the surface. No Helicobacter organisms are seen.

Helicobacter gastritis

Main article: Helicobacter gastritis

Intestinal metaplasia of the stomach

AKA gastric intestinal metaplasia.
Abbreviated IM.

General

Often part of surgical pathology report, e.g. "negative for intestinal metaplasia" or "intestinal metaplasia present".
May be associated with Helicobacter spp. infection -- though Helicobacter don't like intestinal type mucosa, i.e. H. pylori are not typically found in regions with intestinal metaplasia.
May be reversible - some epidemiological evidence.^[18]
Associated with gastric carcinomas of Lynch syndrome;^[19] however, surveillance may not be worthwhile.^[20]

Significance:

Moderate risk increase for carcinoma; risk less than for Barrett's esophagus.^[21]
- Odds ratio for corpus (~5.8x) higher than antrum (2.3x) when compared to individuals without IM.^[22]

Microscopic

Features:

Goblet cells are present in the stomach - key feature.^[23]
- In H&E sections the vacuole often stains light grey.
- Foveolar epithelium should be present in the same fragment.
+/-Paneth cells - deep in the glands.^[24]
- Very rarely present.
- Very uncommon in isolation.

Notes:

Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is occasionally subdivided:^[25]
- Complete IM = goblet cells and (intestinal) brush border.
- Incomplete IM = mucus vacuoles of various sizes, no (intestinal) brush border.
Goblet cells metaplasia starts in the neck region of the gastric glands.^[26]

Microscopic

Features:^[32]

+/-Granulomas.

Miscellaneous

This is a grab bag of stuff seen in the stomach. Some of it is quite rare.

Micro

The sections show antral-type gastric mucosa with dilated lamina propria blood vessels and intravascular fibrin thrombi. There is mild foveolar hyperplasia. Numerous neutrophils are present between the foveollar cells and within the lamina propria. Several large clusters of plasma cells are present in the lamina propria.

Reactive gastropathy

Abbreviated RG.
AKA chemical gastropathy,^[37] incorrectly referred to as chemical gastritis (see below).

General

May be seen in the context of a previous resection/surgical reconstruction, e.g. Billroth II.

Epidemiology

General assocations:

Increases with age.^[38]

Etologic factors - associated with:^[39]

Excess acid.
EtOH.
Bile.
H. pylori.
Drugs:^[37]
- Iron (brown pigment on histology).
- NSAIDs - synergistic effect with corticosteroids.

Drugs that cause erosions and/or ulcers -- adapted from Genta:^[37]

Drug	Comment	Indication for Rx
NSAIDs	common cause	pain, reduce cardiovascular risk
Corticosteroids	synergistic effect with NSAIDs	rheumatologic diseases + others
Potassium (KCl)	common cause	renal failure
Bisphophonates	uncommon cause	osteoporosis
Ferrous sulfate	very common if symptomatic	iron deficiency anemia
Chloroquine	uncommon	only in the context of malaria
Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate)	rare	renal failure patients

Relation to gastritis

May mimic a (true) gastritis symptomatically and visually in an endoscopic examination.
"Chemical gastritis" is misnomer. Etymologically, the -itis in gastritis, implies an inflammatory process. Chemical gastropathy is not (predominantly) an inflammatory process.
- This type of confusion is not uncommon. Steatohepatitis is another example of this; it is not a process with significant inflammation yet, confusingly, carries the -itis ending.

Gross/endoscopic

Features:^[40]

Antral erythema +/- erosions.
+/-Bile.

- Associated with MALT lymphoma;^[78] however, not specific.

DDx:

Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.
Syphilis.^[79]^[80]

IHC

Panker -- most useful.

Others:

CD3 (T cells) - scatter positivity.
CD20 (B cells) +ve.
CD138 (plasma cells).
kappa, lambda -- often one is predominant, suggesting clonality.
BCL2 +ve.

Treatment

Triple therapy (two antibiotics, proton pump inhibitor (PPI)).^[81]
Surgery - if triple therapy fails.

Review paper: PMID 16950858.

Hereditary gastric cancer

Several syndromes are associated with gastric cancer:^[82]

Disease	Gene	Histology	Other
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) syndrome	CDH1 (E-cadherin)^[83]	diffuse - more specifically signet ring cell carcinoma	most important; assoc. invasive lobular carcinoma^[84]
Lynch syndrome	MSH2, MLH1, others	?	colorectal carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma
Familial adenomatous polyposis	APC	?	adenomatous polyps
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome	STK11	?	stomach hamartomas - not precursor
Li-Fraumeni syndrome	TP53 (p53)	?	AKA SBLA syndrome = sarcomas, breast, brain, leukemia, laryngeal, lung, adrenocortical carcinoma
Familial breast and ovarian cancer 2^[85]	BRCA2	?	?

Gastric adenocarcinoma

General

Epidemiology:

Prognosis is often poor as it is discovered at a late stage.
Higher prevalence in countries in the far east (e.g. Japan) - thought to be environmental, e.g. diet.

Risk factors:

Associated with helicobacter infections, i.e. Helicobacter gastritis.
Alcohol - heavy use.^[86]
Genetic syndromes - see hereditary gastric cancer.

Note:

Possible association with tobacco use - dependent on the study.^[87]

Treatment:

Surgical excision.
- Proximal tumours may require a complete gastrectomy as the stomach is innervated from its proximal part.

Classification

Two different classification schemes.
- Lauren^[88] - two types:
  - Intestinal type (mass forming).
  - Diffuse type (infiltrative).
- WHO classification - 6 subtypes for adenocarcinoma:^[89]
  1. Papillary carcinoma.
  2. Tubular carcinoma.
  3. Mucinous carcinoma.
  4. Signet-ring carcinoma.
  5. Undifferentiated carcinoma.
  6. Adenosquamous carcinoma.

Lame memory device STOMACH:

Signet ring, Tubular, Oh papillary, Mucinous, Adenosquamouas, Crappy High grade (Undifferentiated).

Gross

Location:

Large carcinomas preferentially involve the lesser curvature.^[90]
Ulceration with heaped (raised) edges.
- Appearance of the typical intestinal type tumour.
Diffuse wall thickening with loss of the rugae - called linitis plastica.
- Typically due to diffuse carcinoma.

Main DDx of ulcer:

Peptic ulcer disease - have a "punched-out" appearance: sharp edge, no granularity of surrounding mucosa.

Images:

Microscopic

Features - variable, either of the two following:

"Typical adenocarcinoma":
- Gland-forming lesion that infiltrates into the lamina propria or beyond.
- Nuclear pleomorphism - common.
+/-Signet ring carcinoma.
- Scattered single cells in the lamina propria or beyond with:
  - Abundant cytoplasm containing one large (mucin-filled) vacuole.
  - A peripheral nucleus (displaced by the vacuole).

DDx:

Gastric xanthoma - may mimic signet ring cell carcinoma.

Images:

Stains

Mucicarmine +ve.

IHC

CK7 +ve.
CK20 -ve, occasionally +ve.

Others:

p53 +ve in upto 75% of cases.^[91]

Molecular

May have HER2 over expression - more common in intestinal-type tumours.^[92]
- Poor prognosis - like in breast cancer.
- Scoring system different than in breast cancer - complete membrane staining is not required.

Sign out

Biopsy

Intestinal type

STOMACH, BIOPSY:
- INVASIVE ADENOCARCINOMA, INTESTINAL TYPE, MODERATELY DIFFERENTIATED.
- Gastric mucosa with moderate chronic active inflammation and extensive
   intestinal metaplasia.
- Benign small bowel mucosa with erosions.

Diffuse type

STOMACH, BIOPSY:
- INVASIVE ADENOCARCINOMA, DIFFUSE TYPE.

COMMENT:
A pankeratin immunostain demonstrates single (infiltrating) epithelial cells in the
lamina propria.

Micro

The tumour consists of single cells with abundant foamy-appearing cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei with mild nuclear atypia.

 ==Helicobacter gastritis==
-*Often abbreviated ''[[HP]]''.
+{{Main|Helicobacter gastritis}}
-===General===
-*Several Helicobacter species can cause gastritis:
-**''[[Helicobacter pylori]]'' - most common.
-**''Helicobacter heilmannii''.
-Epidemiologic associations - ''Helicobacter'' infections are associated with:<ref>{{Ref PBoD|814}}</ref>
-*Gastritis.
-*Peptic ulcers.
-*Cancer.
-**Carcinoma.
-**[[MALT lymphoma]].
-===Gross===
-*Thickened gastric folds.
-*Erythema.
-===Microscopic===
-Features:
-*Helicobacter organisms - '''key feature'''.
-**''Helicobacter pylori'':
-***Usually have v-shape (seagull-like shape).
-****May have a curved shape (comma-like shape) or U-shape.<ref name=pmid21290743>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Mobley | first1 = HLT. | last2 = Mendz | first2 = GL. | last3 = Hazell | first3 = SL. | last4 = Andersen | first4 = LP. | last5 = Wadström | first5 = T. | title = Basic Bacteriology and Culture | journal =  | volume =  | issue =  | pages =  | month =  | year =  | doi =  | PMID = 21290743 | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK2444/}} </ref>

-***Corkscrew appearance.
-*Inflammation - usually ''moderate chronic active''.
-**Clusters of (lamina propria) [[plasma cell]]s.
-**[[Neutrophil]]s, numerous, classically intraepithelial.
-Tips:
-#One needs to look at 400x magnification. Even at 400x they are possible to miss.
-#*Helicobacter are damn small. They are smaller than the nucleus of the gastric foveollar cell.
-#Look for mucus - they preferentially reside there.
-#*This is usually close to the opening of the gastric pits.
-#Helicobacter are found in groups. When you see several that are the same size and shape you can be sure they are real.
-Notes:
-*Helicobacter can be in antrum and/or body.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Maaroos HI, Kekki M, Villako K, Sipponen P, Tamm A, Sadeniemi L |title=The occurrence and extent of Helicobacter pylori colonization and antral and body gastritis profiles in an Estonian population sample |journal=Scand.

-*Helicobacter don't like the intestinal mucosa ''or'' mucosa that has undergone [[intestinal metaplasia]]; you're less likely to find 'em adjacent to it. In general, Helicobacter is uncommon in the context of a case with IM... but common enough that one still ought to look for it.
-*May be associated with G-cell hyperplasia.<ref name=pmid8680911>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Kwan | first1 = CP. | last2 = Tytgat | first2 = GN. | title = Antral G-cell hyperplasia: a vanishing disease? | journal = Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol | volume = 7 | issue = 11 | pages = 1099-1103 | month = Nov | year = 1995 | doi =  | PMID = 8680911 }}</ref>
