B5-019 Non-Neoplastic GI Pathology Flashcards
most common pathogens of infectious esophagitis
2
HSV-1
candida albicans
[…] is the hallmark symptom of infectious esophagitis
odnynophagia
- micro: viral inclusions in squamous cells at margin of ulcers
- multinucleation, margination, molding
- cowdry type A
HSV
gross: shallow vesicles and ulcers
HSV
- virus present in endothelium, enlarged stomal cells, and epipthelial cells at ulcer base
- nuclear and cellular enlargement
- owl’s eye inclusions
CMV
CMV esophagitis
gray-white plaques/pseudomembranes or ulcers on EGD
candida esophagitis
fungal pseudohyphae within the squamous epithelium, neutrophilic inflammation
candida esophagitis
normal esophagus
- elongation of vascular papillae
- basal cell hyperplasia
- eosinophils and neutrophils
GERD
food impaction/dysphagia symptoms in addition to GERD symptoms
eosinophilic esophagitis
endoscopy:
* linear furrows
* esophageal rings
* possible strictures
eosinophilic esophagitis
erythema, erosions, maybe strictures on EGD
GERD
similar to reflux, but more eosinophils (15ish) in both distal and proximal esophagus
eosinophilic esophagitis
- probable longstanding complication of GERD
- replacement of normal distal esophageal squamous mucosa with intestinal type glandular mucosa
Barrett’s Esophagus
irregular band of dark pink, velvety mucosa extending upward as tongues of mucosa
Barrett’s
metaplastic columnar epithelium with goblet cells
Barrett’s
normal gastric body/fundus with parietal and chief cells
pink= parietal, purple=chief
normal gastric antrum with G cells and mucus glands
curved, helical gram negative bacilli producing urease
H. pylori
often appears normal on EGD
may have erythema, nodularity, ulcers
H. pylori
- dense lamina with lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate
- neutrophils
- organisms in mucus layer
H. pylori
what part of the stomach are you more likely to find H. pylori in?
antrum
triple therapy for H. pylori
2 antibiotics and PPI
intestinal metaplasia from long standing H. pylori
AMAG leads to pernicious anemia due to
decreased B12 absoprtion
