Clinical Manifestations

• Epigastric pain, tenderness• Nausea, vomiting• Bloating, feeling of ‘fullness’ distension• Upper GI Bleeding – Melena Stool,

haematemesis• Nutritional deficiencies, B12

Overview

• Gastritis– Acute– Chronic– Atrophic (Pernicious

Anaemia)– Eosinophilic– Lymphocytic– Sydney Classification

• Peptic Ulcer Disease (including perforation)

• Gastric Neoplasms– Polyps (hyperplastic,

adenomatous)– Gastric Adenocarcinoma– Gastrointestinal Stromal

Tumours– Gastric Lymphomas,

Carcinoids– Metastatic Neoplasms

• Other Gastric Lesions– pyloric stenosis

Gastritis - acute

• Chemical: alkali, acid ingestion

• Dietary - spices• Drugs: Alcohol, NSAIDS

(cox 1), Corticosteroids, Tobacco

• Iatrogenic – instrumentation

• Infections (viral, bacterial)

• Stress – burns, severe illness

Acute haemorrhagic gastritis

Acute haemorrhagic gastritis

Acute Haemorrhagic Gastritis

Infectous Gastritis, EBV

Gastritis - Chronic

• Characterised by chronic inflammation• Aetiology: infections eg Helicobacter pylori.• Exposures as in acute gastritis – reflux,

chemicals, alcohol, etc• Chronic Granulomatous inflammatory lesions• Autoimmune gastritis• Exposure to exessive gastric enzymes,

Zollinger Ellison syndrome, gastric carcinoids

Chronic gastritis

Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis

Helicobacter pylori, Warthin Starry

Helicobacter heilmanii

Helicobacter spp

• Helicobacter heilmanii• Helicobacter felis• Acquired, contamination of contaminated

water, usually in childhood• Strains that produce Cag A are associated with

severe pathology and malignant neoplasms (MALT lymphoma, Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Granulomatous gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis

Gross pathology, atrophic gastritis
