Abstract:
Most gastric malignancies correspond histologically to adenocarcinomas, either of the intestinal or diffuse type, other tumoral varieties being much less frequent. We report a case of a malignant epithelial tumor, whose histological and cytological characteristics correspond to an unusual, although well defined entity, which may appear in the cervix and less frequently in the endometrium, known as adenocarcinoma of the glassy - cell variety. We have not found any previous reports of this particular.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
