| Popis: |
One of the most common challenges confronted by pathologists in assessing esophageal biopsies is suspected esophageal neoplasia. This chapter elaborates the clinical setting leading to biopsy and provides the general approach to esophageal biopsy with emphasis on epithelial patterns. Common patterns of mesenchymal neoplasia are also touched on. The patterns of squamous and glandular dysplasia relevant for accurate and reproducible diagnosis are discussed in detail including features relevant to grading, identification of invasion, benign mimics, and diagnostic pitfalls. The key features are highlighted. Important concepts are further illustrated by short clinical stories that correlate important clinical, endoscopic, and pathologic features. Helpful diagnostic features are demonstrated and described with high-quality photomicrographs and accompanying descriptions. |
