Abstract
Background: When a patient has an upper gastrointestinal disorder-which frequently manifests as dyspepsia-upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is considered the preferred diagnostic procedure. Without a biopsy, endoscopy cannot be considered complete, and the most reliable method for diagnosing lesions seen during endoscopy is histopathology. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at A.C.S Medical College and Hospital for one year duration from July 2022 to July 2023. A total of fifty-five endoscopic biopsy specimens were obtained; they were preserved in 10% formalin and regularly stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results: The majority was found to be 45.4% (25/40) of those aged 61-70, 36.3% (20/55) of those aged 51-60, and 18.1% (10/55) of those aged 40-50.Thirty patients (18.7%) had duodenal lesions, 80 cases (50%) had stomach lesions, and 50 cases (31.2%) had oesophageal lesions. Most upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopic biopsies came from the stomach. Conclusion: Endoscopy is insufficient without biopsy, and the gold standard for diagnosing lesions seen during an endoscopy is histopathology. The particular location of mucosal lesions can be seen with the use of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy. Therefore, we may draw the conclusion that using these two approaches together offers a potent diagnostic tool for improved patient care.
