Abstract:
Pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) of the gallbladder is a rare benign epithelial tumor with potential for malignant transformation. PGAs represent the most common histologic subtype of gallbladder adenomas and are frequently associated with chronic inflammation. Although often incidental findings, their malignant potential warrants careful histopathologic evaluation and consideration for surveillance or surgical management. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with a 30-year history of episodic epigastric pain radiating to the right abdomen and back. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a stalked lesion communicating with the gallbladder, confirmed as a PGA on final pathology after robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds...
Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
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...
