Background Dyspepsia is one of the most common GI complaints encountered in clinical practice. Histopathological assessment of endoscopic gastric mucosa biopsy is crucial to delineate the exact cause of dyspepsia to guide patients' management. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological spectrum of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract endoscopic biopsies and to study the age and sex distribution of the predominant upper GI lesions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India, from January 2022 to December 2023. All endoscopic mucosal biopsies of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first and second parts) lesions were examined under a microscope for histopathological findings. Results Out of 250 endoscopic biopsies studied, there were 76 cases of esophageal biopsies, 149 cases of gastric biopsies, and 25 cases of duodenal biopsies. The male-to-female ratio was 1.2:1. Non-neoplastic lesions were more common than neoplastic lesions. The most common lesions encountered were esophagitis in the esophagus, gastritis in the stomach, and duodenitis in the duodenum. Conclusion The main organic cause of dyspepsia in our setting was chronic gastritis. We conclude that endoscopy of the upper GI tract and histopathological examination help in the earlier detection of both benign and malignant lesions. This aids in better timely management of the patients and improves the overall treatment provided resulting in a better prognosis.
背景:消化不良是临床实践中最常见的胃肠道疾病之一。内镜下胃黏膜活检的组织病理学评估对于明确消化不良的确切病因以指导患者管理至关重要。 目的:本研究的目的是确定上消化道内镜活检的组织病理学谱,并研究主要上消化道病变的年龄和性别分布。 方法:2022年1月至2023年12月在印度贾坎德邦兰契市拉金德拉医学科学研究所病理科进行了一项横断面研究。对食管、胃和十二指肠(第一和第二部分)病变的所有内镜黏膜活检进行显微镜检查以获取组织病理学结果。 结果:在研究的250例内镜活检中,有76例食管活检、149例胃活检和25例十二指肠活检。男女比例为1.2:1。非肿瘤性病变比肿瘤性病变更常见。最常见的病变是食管中的食管炎、胃中的胃炎和十二指肠中的十二指肠炎。 结论:我们研究中消化不良的主要器质性病因是慢性胃炎。我们得出结论,上消化道内镜检查和组织病理学检查有助于早期发现良性和恶性病变。这有助于更好地及时管理患者并改善所提供的整体治疗,从而带来更好的预后。
