Objective: To determine the histopathological pattern of gastritis and benign gastric diseases in western Saudi Arabia.
Methods: TThis retrospective histopathology-based study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, and comprised medical records of all patients who were diagnosed to have benign gastric diseases from January 2006 to December 2015.SPSS 19 was used for data analysis.
Results: Of the 1,236 patients, 669(54.1%) were males and 567(45.9%)were females. The overall mean age was 43±10.75 years (range: 10-100 years). Besides, 755(61.1%) patients were in the age group of 20-49 years. Gastritis was diagnosed in 1,105(89.4%) cases, 1,091(88.3%) of which were chronic. Benign polypi was found in 34(2.75%) cases and normal biopsies in 97(7.85%) cases. Helicobacter pylori organisms were detected in 402(32.5%) cases. Helicobacter pylori gastritis was active in 331(82.5%) cases, atrophic in 4(0.9%) and metaplastic in 11(2.7%) cases. The mean age of gastric polypi patients was 50.1±12.52 years (range: 16-90 years). Hyperplastic polypi was seen in 30(88.2%) cases. Fundic gland polypi were found in 4(11.8%) cases.
Conclusions: Benign gastric diseases appeared to affect the younger individuals. Gastritis was more prevalent and benign polypi was less so.

Objective: This study explored the value of stomach ultrasound reporting and data system (Su-RADS) and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) in the diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions of the gastric wall, evaluating the feasibility of combining the two methods for the diagnosis of gastric wall lesions.
Methods: 113 patients with gastric wall lesions were examined after oral gastric ultrasound contrast agent, and the grades of the gastric wall lesions were classified according to Su-RADS. Moreover, 2D-SWE was performed to measure the E value of the lesions.
Introduction: Although the widespread use of screening tests and HPV vaccines for squamous cell carcinoma has led to early detection and treatment, effectiveness is limited for cervical adenocarcinoma. Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) corresponds to gastric metaplasia, but is regarded as a pathological condition with subtle morphological abnormalities. LEGH is a benign lesion and a precursor to gastric-type adenocarcinoma.

Background: Capecitabine, a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, is extensively utilized for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer. Nevertheless, there exist limitations in comprehending adverse reactions (AEs) in clinical practice. In this study, we investigated the distribution of AEs associated with capecitabine and explored potential rare adverse reactions by mining the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus capable of establishing lifelong latent infections, leading to a wide spectrum of diseases. It can affect multiple organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, typically through lymphoproliferative syndromes or gastric cancer, while acute gastrointestinal disease is rare and poorly understood. Two cases of EBV-induced acute colitis in kidney transplant recipients were described.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare congenital anomalies, often identified during infancy or childhood. Although typically benign, there have been sporadic reports of malignant transformations, including adenocarcinoma and rare mixed tumors. Herein, we describe a rare case of mixed pancreatobiliary ductal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma occurring within a GDC in a 54-year-old Korean woman with a history of melena and hematemesis.
