GIT Flashcards
(34 cards)
Inflammatory lesions for GIT
- Acute appendicitis
- Chronic Gastritis
- Chronic Gastritis- Ulcer
- Pseudomembranous colitis
There is neutrophilic infiltration of the muscularis propria
Acute appendicitis
There is chronic mucosal inflammatory changes
Chronic Gastritis
Cells present in Chronic Gastritis
Plasma cells, lymphocytes, occasional lymphoid follicles
It is round to oval, sharply punched-out defect
Chronic Gastritis - Ulcer
It is a local defect or excavation of the surface of an organ or tissue produced by the sloughing of inflamed necrotic tissue
Ulcer ( Chronic Gastritis -ulcer)
Is ulcer acute or chronic?
Both
Causative agent of Pseudomembranous colitis
Clostridioides difficile
Old name of Clostridioides difficile
Clostridium difficile
Mucopurulent exudates erupt from damaged crypts to form “volcano” lesions
Pseudomembranous colitis
Benign neoplasms
Adenomatous Polyp
Villous Adenoma-Colon
Colorectal adenomas are precursor lesions of?
Adenocarcinoma
These range from 0.3 to 10 cm in diameter and can be pedunculated or sessile
Colorectal adenoma (Adenomatous Polyp)
Kinds of colorectal adenomas
Tubular adenoma
Villous adenoma
Sessile serrated adenoma
Hallmarks of epithelial dysplasia
- nuclear hyperchromasia
- elongation
- stratification
Villous glands, in finger-like projections composed of >75% of adenoma
Villous adenoma, Colon
Polypoid lesions lined by dysplastic epithelium
Villous adenoma, colon
Dysplastic cells and Hallmarks in villous adenoma, colon when seen in higher magnification
Nuclear hyperchromatism, cellular crowding (stratification) and elongation
Malignant neoplasms
- squamous cell carcinoma -esophagus
- adenocarcinoma - stomach
- adenocarcinoma - colon
- adenocarcinoma - moderately differentiated - colon
- adenocarcinoma - poorly differentiated - colon
- carcinoid tumor
What are present in squamous cell carcinoma esophagus
- sheets of squamous cells
- invasion of underlying stroma
- breach in basement membrane
- Keratin pearl formation
This can be noticed in higher magnification of squamous cell carcinoma, esophagus
Intercellular bridging
It is the most common malignancy in stomach
Adenocarcinoma, stomach
2 main types of gastric adenocarcinoma
- intestinal-type
- diffuse infiltrative type
It is diffuse type
Poorly differentiated or poorly cohesive carcinoma
And sheets and clusters of tumor cells infiltrate the stroma
Gastric adenocarcinoma
