Ciliated metaplasia in a gastric adenoma in a Swedish patient
1Department of Pathology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
Abstract:
The second European case of ciliated gastric metaplasia is presented, this time in a Swedish patient. Cilia were found in cystically dilated glands underneath a gastric adenoma. The possibility that cilia represent adaptative metaplasia aimed at expelling the retained mucus within the cysts is discussed.
