    Study Notes

    Glandular Metaplasia of Surface Squamous Epithelium

    • Also known as Barrett's esophagus
    • Caused by Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
    • Fate: may lead to esophageal adenocarcinoma

    Esophageal Carcinoma

    • Types: Squamous cell carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma
    • Squamous cell carcinoma: common in upper third of esophagus
    • Adenocarcinoma: common in lower third of esophagus

    Gastric Carcinoma

    • Types: Adenocarcinoma (intestinal type, diffuse infiltrating type)
    • May cause linitis plastica or leather bottle appearance
    • May lead to ulcerated, infiltrative, or metastatic carcinoma

    Bowel Diseases

    • Crohn's disease: chronic transmural inflammation and noncaseating granulomas
    • Ulcerative colitis: may lead to adenocarcinoma
    • Chronic calcular cholecystitis: causes gallstones

    Pancreatic Tumors

    • Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma
    • Pleomorphic adenoma: triphasic

    Liver Diseases

    • Liver Cirrhosis
    • Fatty change of liver (Steatosis): characterized by fat globules in hepatocytes
    • Mallory bodies: characteristic of alcoholic steatohepatitis
    • Focal nodular hyperplasia: benign tumor
    • Hepatocellular carcinoma: primary liver cancer
    • Regenerative Cirrhotic Nodule: benign tumor

    Other Tumors

    • Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
    • Warthin tumor
    • Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
    • Tongue squamous cell carcinoma
    • Leukoplakia: precursor to squamous cell carcinoma
