Histopathological spectrum of upper gastrointestinal lesion detected by endoscopy guided biopsy-A single institute experience

Endoscopy guided biopsy plays an important role in diagnosing lesion of upper GIT tract. It is safe, cost effective and is a day care procedure. Most of the patient with GIT malignancy are asymptomatic or has no specific symptoms in early stage and are often diagnosed in advanced stage. Punch biopsy of the lesion under endoscopy guidance and its histopathological evaluation helps in diagnosing this. The current study is done to study the histomorphological spectrum of upper GIT lesion and its correlation with the endoscopy findings.
