DERS Images Flashcards
Oral leukoplakia
Metaplastic/Dysplastic changes in the oral mucosa
Reflux esophagitis
Intraepithelial eosinophils. But only a few, if there are more than ~15 per HPF, it’s probably eosinophilic esophagitis
Also, basal zone hyperplasia
Reflux esopagitis
Endoscopic view of Barret esophagus
Replacement of the normal pearly white esophageal squamous mucosa with velvety pink columnar mucosa (aka - serpiginous salmon colored patch)
Barret esophagus
Columnar metaplasia with goblet cells
Barret Esophagus - low grade dysplasia
note the elongated nuclei (used to distinguish between metaplasia and dysplasia)
Barret esophagus - high grade dysplasia
Note extreme disoranization of epithelium

Esophageal varices
Eosinophilic esophagitis
- Marked increase in intraepithelial eosinophils. If there are only a few, it could be reflux esophagitis
Infectious Esophagitis - Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
- Large multinucleated cells seen in esophagus
Infectious Esophagitis - CMV infection
- Owl’s eye nucleus cells seen in esophagus
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Nests of squamous cells
Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
- Infiltrative (past basement membrane)
- Gland formation
- Hemorrhagic
- Occurs near gastroesophageal junction
Chronic gastritis
- Lymphocytes in lamina propria
- Neutrophils in surface epithelium
Chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori
- Reactive lymphoid aggregates seen along surface
Autoimmune gastritis
- Chronic inflammation along the bottom
- Glandular atrophy along the top
Autoimmune gastritis
- Appearance of goblet cells in gastric mucosa
Peptic Ulcer
- Necrotic bottom
- Granulation tissue in the base
Peptic Ulcer
- Round/Oval punched out hole with slightly raised margins
If the hole is >2cm or the margins are very raised, it’s probably an ulcer caused by a gastric adenocarcinoma
Diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma
Linea plastica appearance (aka - leather bottle stomach)
Diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma
- Appearance of signet ring cells in gastric mucosa
Intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma
- Ulcer with highly raised margins surrounded by intact rugae
