    Endoscopic diagnosis of gastroduodenal erosions is often inaccurate. Histological confirmation is crucial, as many lesions lack agreement, highlighting the need for improved endoscopic terminology.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Upper gastrointestinal disease diagnosis relies heavily on endoscopy.
    • Gastroduodenal erosions are commonly identified endoscopically.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis of gastroduodenal erosions compared to histological findings.
    • To identify factors contributing to discrepancies between endoscopic and histological diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Multicenter study involving 6 gastroenterology units.
    • 166 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms underwent endoscopic examination.
    • Histological analysis of 172 endoscopically diagnosed lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Only 42% of endoscopically diagnosed gastroduodenal erosions were histologically confirmed.

  • Discrepancy rates varied significantly between centers (15% to 100%).
  • Histopathological findings like acute gastritis and intestinal metaplasia contributed to diagnostic disagreement in 55% of biopsies.

    • Conclusions:

    • The term 'erosion' should be reserved for histologically verified lesions.
    • A more descriptive endoscopic terminology is needed for accurate upper gastrointestinal disease diagnosis.
