Ian Brown Preface Biopsies and resection of the gastrointestinal tract are performed for a num- ber of reasons. Firstly, for the investigation of a clinical symptom, common examples of which include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and dyspepsia. Secondly, for the further investigation of an abnormal finding, examples of which include the investigation of anaemia, abnormal imaging of the gastrointestinal tract and investigation for a primary source of a malig- nancy of unknown origin. Thirdly, endoscopic biopsies are performed as a screening test for patients with known or potential inherited polyposis syn- dromes, positive family history of gastrointestinal tract malignancy, or a find- ing of positive faecal occult blood test. Fourthly, endoscopic biopsies are performed as a follow-up to previously diagnosed disease either to ensure adequate treatment, for example coeliac disease following gluten-free diet, or to screen for development of neoplasia such as in Barrett’s oesophagus. Lastly, for the management of known pre-malignant or early malignant lesions of the upper and lower GI tracks including laterally spreading tumours of the colon and early oesophageal cancer in Barrett’s oesophagus. Over the past decade there have been numerous advances in endoscopic equipment and techniques with a much better understanding of endoscopic patterns for lesion characterisation and targeted biopsies. With these evolving techniques, there has also been a strong shift away from invasive surgical procedures towards minimally invasive endoscopic therapies. That being said, there is still a definite role for surgical management; however this is now mostly guided by the pathology reporting of resected specimens, which assist the clinician in determining nodal metastatic rates that mandate surgical resection so that now pathologists are not only integral in guiding diagnosis but also serve as a gatekeeper to more invasive therapies for patients. For histopathologists the endoscopic appearance is the equivalent of the macroscopic assessment of the pathology. Hence a knowledge of the endo- scopic finding provides important information useful to develop a final patho- logical diagnosis. Endoscopic findings can be broadly characterised as (1) normal appearance, (2) probable inflammation (mucosal hyperaemia, friabil- ity and oedema), (3) erosion or ulceration and (4) polyp/mucosal ridge/mass forming process. The clinical setting and site of occurrence and extent within the gastrointestinal tract provide additional information which helps narrow the potential differential diagnosis. Some conditions within the broad endo- scopic patterns described above have additional characteristic endoscopic features and these are discussed further throughout the book. vii viii Preface An important aspect to the assessment of endoscopic biopsies is that ade- quate sampling has been undertaken. Guidelines for this are available and are continually being refined. The following table provides a summary of the minimal biopsy requirements required for histological assessment. Site Condition Biopsy requirements Oesophagus Gastro-oesophageal Biopsies of irregular mucosa reflux disease Barrett’s oesophagus— Quadrant biopsies for every 2 cm length of no dysplasia Barrett’s mucosa Barrett’s Quadratic biopsies for every 1 cm length oesophagus—dysplasia of Barrett’s mucosa. Targeted biopsies of abnormal mucosa Eosinophilic At least two biopsies from mid-oesophagus oesophagitis and from lower oesophagus Targeted biopsies of abnormal mucosa Infectious oesophagitis Targeted biopsies of abnormal mucosa or the edge of an ulcer Stomach Gastritis—standard Updated Sydney Protocol: five biopsies: one from the antrum 2–3 cm from the pylorus lesser curvature, one from the antrum 2–3 cm from the pylorus greater curvature, one from the corpus 8 cm from the cardia lesser curvature, one from the corpus 8 cm from the cardia greater curvature, one from the angularis Targeted biopsies of any erosion, polyps, possible intestinal metaplasia, mass lesions Ulceration Biopsies of base and edge Small intestine Possible coeliac disease Five to six biopsies throughout the duodenum. Should include the duodenal bulb Large intestine Microscopic colitis ≥2 biopsies from right colon ≥2 biopsies from left colon Inflammatory bowel Pancolitis: four-quadrant biopsies every disease—screening for 10 cm from the cecum to the rectum, for a dysplasia minimum total 33 biopsy samples OR Targeted biopsies performed with the aid of methylene blue chromoendoscopy Table adapted from the Standards of Practice Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY Vol. 78, No. 2: 2013) Perth, Australia M.
