Abstract:
A 6-year-old neutered female Bernese mountain dog is described with anorexia, weight loss and melena. Gastric neoplasia was noticed (on ultrasound) and pathological examination ofgastric biopsies showed a histiocytic tumor. Necropsy confirmed the diagnosis of a localised histiocytic sarcoma. It was remarkable that the large tumor didn't lead to vomiting.

Stomach Histology
The stomach comprises several layers that work together to facilitate digestion and protect the organ. The outermost layer is called the serosa, which provides support and protection to the stomach. The muscularis externa layer is responsible for the mechanical breakdown of food by contracting and moving the stomach. The submucosa layer, located beneath the muscularis externa, contains connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, and glands that secrete mucus and other substances essential for...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
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...
