GIT Flashcards
Adenomatous colon polyps are true neoplastic lesions and most of these are of tubular
type.
true
Ulcerative colitis can produce pseudo-polyps and has a strong association with
colorectal cancer.
True
Cirrhosis can lead to collateral and dilated lower oesophageal varices which are shunts
between veins of the portal circulation and the veins draining into the superior and
inferior venae cava.
True
The pathogenesis of chronic peptic ulcers is always an inbalance between acid attacks
and mucous defense of the stomach.
False, chronic peptic ulcers can be genetic

The bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are associated with peri-oral
pigmentation.
True
The bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are associated with peri-oral
pigmentation.
True
The bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are associated with peri-oral
pigmentation.
True
The bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are associated with peri-oral
pigmentation.
True
peptic ulcer is composed of an exudative surface layer overlying a necrotic layer which
in turn covers a layer of active granulomatous tissue resting on a more solid fibrous or
collagenous scar.
false that is the description of chronic gastric ulcers

in turn covers a layer of active granulomatous tissue resting on a more solid fibrous or
collagenous scar.
false
Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach is only associated with cancer formation.
False. It is also associated with peptic ulcers and lymphoma
Oral aphthous ulcers can be associated with Coeliac disease
True
Dysphagia can result from a benign tumour compressing the oesophagus
True
Gastric carcinomas can produce “Krukenberg tumors” of the ovaries.
True
In Barrett oesophagitis the normal squamous epithelium of the upper oesophagus is
replaced by mucous-secreting columnar epithelium.
False , its of the lower oesophagus
In Barrett oesophagitis the normal squamous epithelium of the upper oesophagus is
replaced by mucous-secreting columnar epithelium.
False , its of the lower oesophagus
Gastro oesophageal reflux eventually leads to metaplasia of the epithelial lining at the
lower oesophagus
True
Gastro oesophageal reflux eventually leads to metaplasia of the epithelial lining at the
lower oesophagus
True
The adenocarcinomas at the lower end of the oesophagus are predominantly caused by
alcohol and smoking abuse.
True
The adenocarcinomas at the lower end of the oesophagus are predominantly caused by
alcohol and smoking abuse.
True
Hiatus hernia occurs when the lower oesaphogus decends below the diaphragm and
causes reflux oesaphagitis
False, hiatus hernia is when the stomach moves above the diaphragm
Hiatus hernia occurs when the lower oesaphogus decends below the diaphragm and
causes reflux oesaphagitis
Portal hypertension associated with cirrhosis puts the patients at risk for potentially
lethal haemorrhages.
True
A peptic ulcer appears as a large, irregular crater covered by necrotic material and
surrounded by thickened mucosa, whereas a gastric carcinoma has a sharply punched
out shape and penetrates deeply into the muscularis propria.
False, swapped around

Malabsorption syndromes can cause glossitis.
True
Malabsorption syndromes can cause glossitis.
True
The K-ras and c-myc oncogenes are frequently expresse in colorectal carcinoma and
mutations of the APC suppressor gene are important in Familial Adenomatous polyposis.
False. K-ras and c-myc oncogenes are expressed in GASTRIC CANCER and its FAP genes which are important
