Overview

Histological investigation of non-neoplastic endoscopic biopsies of gastric mucosa is one of the most common tasks most pathologists have to face on daily basis. Although the most common clinical question is still being whether Helicobacter organisms are found, pathologists have to bear in mind the whole spectrum of causes and associated morphological patterns of gastritides and gastropathies, governed by characteristic combinations of various types of inflammatory infiltrate, alterative and reactive changes of epithelial component, vascular response, and variability of stromal composition. The association of histopathologic pattern with supposed etiology can be sometimes proved by direct detection of the cause of morphologic changes in the investigated endoscopic sample.
