Background:
Gastrointestinal disorders are one of the most common clinically encountered problem. The Spectrum varies significantly due to geographical, dietary and environmental factors. Endoscopic examination along with histopathological biopsy examination is the gold standard for the detection of lesions. Correlation with other clinical data aids in accurate and early diagnosis of lesions.
Methods:
This descriptive study comprises of 454 endoscopic biopsies of gastrointestinal tract received in the Department of Pathology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Pondicherry over a period of 18 months from December 2016 to May 2018. Brief clinical data, provisional clinical diagnosis, endoscopic findings and histopathological diagnosis were noted.
Result:
Of the 454 cases examined, 53.9% of patients were males. Highest incidence was recorded in the 41-50 age group comprising of 22.4%. Endoscopic examination showed maximum cases with inflamed mucosa (38.5%). The commonest biopsied site is Gastric antrum. Non-neoplastic lesions were more prevalent (83.4%) than neoplastic lesions.
Conclusion:
Histopathological evaluation along with details of endoscopic findings aids in providing an accurate diagnosis.
