background: chronic diarrhea is a common problem in patients with symptoms related to gastro-intestinal tract. some of these patients present with chronic non-bloody, watery diarrhea and no specific clinical, laboratory, or endoscopic findings. the aim of the present study was to investigate the value of histological findings in patients with chronic diarrhea who have normal or non-specific end...

Endoscopic procedures are the gold standard in identifying, monitoring and treating gastrointestinal system lesions. The evaluation of benign, precancerous and malignant characteristics of these lesions requires good endoscopic inspection and precise pathological examination. Pyloric gland adenoma is a rare precancerous lesion defined in recent years and herein is reviewed in the present case a...

We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix metastasizing to the duodenum through lymphatics. Para-aortic group of lymph nodes were involved which ultimately infiltrated the duodenum. On endoscopic examination, peri-ampullary growth was noted. Endoscopic biopsy from the growth was studied by routine histopathology and metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma involving duodenum wa...

Four cases of alimentary tract lipomas are described. While conventional radiology is unable to differentiate these tumours from the much commoner carcinomas, computed tomography and endoscopic examination may allow a definitive diagnosis thus sparing the patient major surgery. In selected cases endoscopic polypectomy is feasible and safe.

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY The extent to which variability affects endoscopic grading of arytenoid cartilage movement is uncertain. OBJECTIVE To determine the observer and within horse variability of grading arytenoid cartilage movement in horses during resting endoscopic examination, using a 7-grade system. METHODS Endoscopic recordings of the upper respiratory tract made at rest in 270 ...

The aim of this study is to identify and consolidate reliable endoscopic features associated with H. pylori infection in gastric mucosa, which is one of the major causes of gastric cancer. A total of 256 Chinese patients with symptomatic stomach disturbances were enrolled. Pathological examination was conducted using a light microscope and biopsy specimens stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Endosc...

A 65 year-old male was admitted to the University hospital with obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic examination revealed a grossly abnormal major ampulla, situated at the edge of a large duodenal diverticulum. Biopsy of the ampulla was positive for villous adenoma. We describe the technique utilized to successfully perform an end-bloc endoscopic resection of a major ampulla on a diverticulum.

Introduction: Non Endoscopic endo-nasal dacryocystorhinostomy retains the benefit of an Endo-nasal approach and can be done without using expensive video endoscope or laser system.
 Case presentation: A 22 years old female presented with epiphora medial canthal mass in her left eye, accompanied by discharge recurrent conjunctival congestion since childhood. Physical examination revealed lo...

A case of an 84 year old woman addressed for dysphagia is discussed. The endoscopic and histologic examination revealed a gastric linitis with cardial invasion. Classically, there is no characteristic macroscopic description associated with gastric linitis. An endoscopic aspect considered highly suggestive for gastric linitis is presented.

Gastric hyperplastic polyps are generally considered benign lesions, although rare cases of adenocarcinoma have been reported. Two cases of intramucosal adenocarcinoma originating from gastric hyperplastic polyps that were successfully removed by endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection are reported. On pathological examination, adenocarcinoma limited to the hyperplastic...
