Abstract
Background: Tumors of the stomach and small intestines are some of the common neoplasms encountered. Considering the numerous variables involved, it would be justified in undertaking an in-depth study into tumors of stomach and intestine.
Aims and Objectives: To study the tumours of stomach with respect to etiology, site and histological types.
Material and Methods: This Histopathological study of tumors of stomach and intestines’ was carried out over a period of 23 months from January 2011 to November 2012 in a tertiary care center
All surgically resected specimens of stomach received for histopathological examination and diagnosed as neoplasm were included.
Results: Majority of cases of gastric tumors occurred in pylorus (57%) followed by cardia of the stomach (26.19%). Majority (95%) are epithelial tumors and the rest lymphoma. Majority are adenocarcinoma of which tubular adenocarcinoma (64%) occurs in most of patients followed by mucinous adenocarcinoma (21%). Two cases of non Hodgkin lymphoma were confirmed by immunohistochemisrty. Among 28 cases, grossly omental lymphnodes were identified in 19 cases and histologically metastasis was present in 11 cases (57.89%). Extra nodal metastasis (perinodal,lesser sac fat) were seen in 6 cases(21%).
Conclusion: The result of a careful and systematic examination of surgical specimens from patients with tumors of the gastrointestinal tract play an important role in patient care and the assessment of prognosis
