<pre> | |||
Stomach, Cardia Lesion, Biopsy: | |||
- Polypoid gastric xanthoma. | |||
- NEGATIVE for Helicobacter-like organisms. | |||
- NEGATIVE for intestinal metaplasia. | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy. | |||
Comment: | |||
The histiocytes in were demonstrated with a CD68 immunostain. | |||
An AE1/AE3 immunostain and a Ki-67 immunostain have a benign pattern. | |||
