Abstrakt: Gastrointestinal biopsies represent an increasing proportion of the paediatric pathologist's workload, an increase fundamentally due to an expansion of the understanding of the basic clinical, molecular, genetic, and histopathological features of paediatric gastrointestinal disorders. The histological interpretation of endoscopically retrieved gastrointestinal biopsies in children requires a unique set of diagnostic expertise and detailed knowledge of various gastrointestinal disorders that have a predilection for the paediatric population. This article's major role is to highlight the unique problems inherent to paediatric gastrointestinal disorders that require immediate communication with the paediatric surgeon or the gastroenterologist. For this, we tried to cover the most important diseases that a paediatric pathologist might encounter in daily practice. Some of these diseases are relatively rare, such as microvillous inclusion disease and tufting enteropathy, but some are more common such as eosinophilic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease. Awareness of the histopathological features of these diseases, particularly those that are relatively uncommon, is crucial to spare the patient a lengthy and costly evaluation. We made a particular effort to abundantly reference this article should the reader wish to expand on the content of any section.
