BACKGROUND: The incidence of gastric cancer in India is low compared to developed countries, though there are certain geographical areas (Southern part and northeastern states of country) where the incidence is comparable to high–incidence areas of world. There are not sufficient publications from North India, discussing the pattern of lesions seen in Stomach cancer. Thus Aim of current study was to study the pattern  of neoplastic lesions of stomach in kashmiri  population METHODOLOGY:A prospective study was conducted in the tertiary care hospital for a period opf 2 years. The specimens were collected from subjects diagnosed as Stomach carcinomas for both Gross and   histopathological examination RESULTS:Fifty consecutive patients of stomach carcinoma were enrolled. Most common variant was ulceroproliferative in both sexes (59.4% in males and 84.6% in females and the least common variant was diffuse (8.1% in males and 0% in femalesMicroscopoc examination ofthe lesions show that most common variant was poorly differentiated (48% in all) and the least common was mixed differentiation (4%) CONCLUSION: Ulceroproliferative lesion is the most common  variant of Stomach cancer.
