Gastrointestinal Pathology for Medical II Students

Lab 1k Gastric Adenocarcinoma, Intestinal Type, Arising in Chronic Atrophic Gastritis continued (63000-81443)

Slide 4 
The gastric mucosa adjacent to the carcinoma shows chronic inflammation, glandular atrophy and distortion, and intestinal metaplasia.  These findings are typical for chronic atrophic gastritis.  As you know, atrophic forms of gastritis with intestinal metaplasia show an increased incidence of gastric cancer.
