1- Gastric mucosa showing mild atrophy and moderate infiltration by lymphocytes and plasma cells. Lymphocytes aggregate in some foci to form lymphoid follicles. Neutrophils are seen infiltrating glands thus indicating activity. H. pylori characteristic forms are present. There is no evidence of intestinal metaplasia, atypia or malignancy.
2- Intact colonic mucosa with mild reduction in the number of mucigenic cells and mild infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils. However, crypt abscesses are not identified. No evidence of atypical or malignant cells in submitted material. Please make sure the submitted material is representative from the described mass lesion, otherwise re-biopsy will be advised if malignancy is still suspected.
Prepyloric ulcer and rectosigmoid mass.
