STOMACH, BIOPSY: | |||
- BODY AND ANTRAL-TYPE GASTRIC MUCOSA WITH MODERATE CHRONIC ACTIVE INFLAMMATION AND | |||
FOCAL EOSINOPHILIA. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTOR-LIKE ORGANISMS. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR INTESTINAL METAPLASIA. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
One of four tissue fragments has eosinophilia, with 45 eosinophils/1 HPF (where 1 HPF | |||
is 0.2376 mm*mm). | |||
