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 |
|
Chief cell | present | absent | chief cells: basophilic cytoplasm, IHC: +ve for pepsinogen I |
|
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. |
|
Surface | flat | blunted villi | antrum is somewhat duodenum-like |
|
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
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.
