Abstract

The chapter describes the histological features of the normal mucosa in the four main regions of the stomach: the cardia, fundus, body, and antrum. It also addresses the main histological changes seen in the most commonly seen gastritis: Helicobacter pylori gastritis, lymphocytic gastritis, granulomatous gastritis and gastric Crohn’s disease, eosinophilic gastritis, graft-versus-host disease, reactive gastropathy, and nonspecific gastritis.
