Primer: histopathology for the clinician--how to interpret biopsy information for gastritis

Nature Clinical Practice. Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Barbara J McKenna, Henry D Appelman

Abstract

Gastroenterologists can be frustrated, at times, by surgical pathology reports of gastritis that either do not match what was seen endoscopically, or do not indicate the presence of a specific disease. This might be because of one or more factors. First, it has been well established that the correlation between the endoscopic diagnosis of gastritis and histologic gastritis is poor. Second, there are a limited number of well-known histologic gastritides that yield specific diagnoses. Reports that are purely descriptive are, therefore, common, and might require discussion between endoscopist and pathologist.
