Correlation of Endoscopic and Histopathological Diagnoses in Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Lesions: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) endoscopy with biopsy is essential for diagnosing and managing various GIT diseases, including malignancies and inflammatory conditions. This study aimed to analyze the spectrum of histopathological lesions in the GIT and their correlation with the endoscopic findings. Methodology This retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary medical college involving 114 patients who underwent GIT endoscopy between June 2023 and June 2024.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasonography-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Abdominopelvic Masses: A Prospective Study.

Introduction Accurate diagnosis of deep-seated abdominopelvic masses is crucial to distinguish malignant from non-malignant lesions for proper treatment and prognosis. Ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (USG-FNAC) is a cost-effective and straightforward procedure that offers rapid diagnosis, facilitating early initiation of treatment. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of USG-FNAC in comparison to the biopsy diagnosis of various abdominopelvic masses in a resource-limited setting.
