Department of Pathology Diagnostic Services
Gastrointestinal Pathology
Gastrointestinal Pathology deals with biopsies taken by gastroenterologists
and resection specimens, taken by surgeons. Biopsies are mostly endoscopic
biopsies, either from the upper or lower GI tract. These are examined for
inflammatory and neoplastic conditions by experts in GI pathology.
We have special expertise in the diagnosis of celiac disease and Barrett's
esophagus with its complications of dysplasia and carcinoma. Outside
biopsies are frequently sent for a second opinion to our division. We are
part of several multiinstitutional research projects. We also accept
biopsies from private doctor's offices and provide a rapid diagnosis,
communicated personally in cases of complex diagnoses or cancer.
Surgical specimens from the GI tract are examined as to their primary
diagnosis, i.e cancer or inflammatory disease, and the extent of disease.
We are especially active in the field of tumors of the pancreas, which are
increasing in frequency.
