Abstract
The most common histological type of tumour found in the stomach is the adenocarcinoma. Whilst reporting the incidence of sarcomas and melanomas, this chapter has largely confined itself to the adenocarcinomas. The histological type has been established from pathology reports on either biopsies, resected specimens, or from post mortems. A simple classification is made into adenocarcinomas and anaplastic carcinomas. The former group is subsequently divided to compare well and moderately differentiated tumours with poorly differentiated tumours. No review has been undertaken of the histological slides (except for lymphoma) and no attempt has been made to evaluate more modern classifications such as the Lauren and the WHO.
