Incidence and evolutive tendency of intestinal metaplasia in chronic gastritis
Rom J Intern Med.
1992 Jan-Mar.
Abstract
The histologic examination of 556 gastric biopsies performed in patients with chronic gastritis, revealed the presence of intestinal metaplasia in 81 cases (14.5%). This was correlated with the evolutive stage of gastritis, the maximum incidence being observed in the case of gastric atrophy (24.7%). The iterative examination of the patients with intestinal metaplasia, allowed the determination of its evolutive tendency. After an average period of 5 years, the occurrence of gastric malignoma was observed in 5 cases (6.3%) thus confirming the oncogenic risk of intestinal metaplasia and justifying the careful "surveillance" of these cases.
