Interpretation of Endoscopic Biopsy - Gastritis, Gastropathies and Beyond

Abstract

While interpreting an endoscopic biopsy, it is important to know the site of biopsy, the endoscopic appearance and also number of tissue fragments provided. Also to be noted is the orientation of the biopsy tissue pieces and the medium in which the sample has been sent, so that it helps in identifying true morphological changes or other mishandling associated artefactual changes.
