Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of gastric-type epithelium in duodenal biopsies, linking it to metaplastic changes related to peptic disorders.
- Of the 28,210 patients analyzed, most were healthy, with a small percentage showing conditions like active duodenitis and gastric heterotopia; Helicobacter pylori infection was also assessed across these groups.
- The findings indicate that while active duodenitis is more common in H. pylori-infected patients, gastric metaplasia is not necessarily tied to peptic disorders, suggesting that gastric heterotopia is probably a congenital issue and related to fundic gland polyps.
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is a reliable technique for rapid diagnosis in virtually every organ of the body, including bone lesions. We report on the FNA findings in a 61-yr-old male of an osteolytic sacral lesion, which determined the diagnosis of an unsuspected metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case, the diagnosis was confirmed by FNA biopsy without resorting to surgical biopsy.
