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.
