Abstract :

Background: Gastric disorders are one of the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice. Upper GI endoscopic biopsy is common procedure performed in the hospital for variety of neoplastic and non–neoplastic lesions. Methods: It is a retrospective study of endoscopic gastric biopsies from June 2018 to June 2019.All the biopsies were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Giemsa and AL–PAS stains. Result: Eighty endoscopic gastric biopsies are taken into the study. Among 80 biopsies, 45 (56.25%) were from male and 35 (43.75%) from female patients. Of 80 biopsies, 63 (78.75%) were diagnosed as inflammatory lesions, 6 (7.5%) malignancies, 7 (8.75%) non inflammatory and 4 (5%) were no opinion was possible. Conclusion: Endoscopic biopsies are boon for the gastric diagnostics as well as therapeutic managements.However in areas with poor socio–economic population H–pylori infection is high.The study population included in this study is also from very remote area of the state with poor infrastaucture facilities,which is one the cause for high prevalence of H–pylori induced gastritis constituting for 57.14%,inspite of being preventable and treatable.
