Frequencies of different oesophageal lesion seen on endoscopy and histopathology in a tertiary care institute
Keywords:
oesophageal lesion, endoscopy, histopathologyAbstract
Gastrointestinal endoscopy visualizes the whole of the digestive tract and is a well-known technique of investigation, diagnosis and treatment of a broader range of digestive tract lesions. Endoscopy also gives an opportunity for taking biopsy from suspicious neoplastic and inflammatory lesions seen on endoscopy. In India, as per the National Cancer Registry, neoplasm of the oesophagus and stomach are the topmost neoplasm present in males. In the females after breast and cervix cancer, oesophageal cancer is the most common cancer. It was a prospective, observational study of one and half year duration including all the patients visiting the outpatient department of Gastroenterology in whom endoscopy was advised. After proper informed consent biopsy was obtained from the suspicious oesophageal lesion and sent to the pathology department for detailed histopathological examination. Finally frequencies of different lesions were observed on endoscopy and on histopathology. Out of 48 patients enrolled into study, the majority were males between 40-60 years of age group. Neoplastic lesions were the most common lesions followed by inflammatory lesions in the endoscopy and similar observation was seen in histopathological examinations as well.
