Abstract

Background: Stomach is a common location for benign and malignant lesions in the digestive system from inflammation to cancer. Therefore, recognition and diagnosis in the endoscopic stage and its confirmation in a pathological examination will be critical. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between endoscopic and histopathological findings in the patients with stomach lesion. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 350 patients who referred to endoscopy center in Firoozgar Hospital were selected from 2016 to 2017. The stomach endoscopy was performed on various parts including; fundus, body (lesser and greater curvatures) and antrum, and pathological examination was performed on biopsy samples. The checklist was used to record patients’ age and gender. Data were analyzed by t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings: The mean age of patients was 51±6 years and 207 patients (59.1%) were male. The correlation between pathologic and endoscopic results for antrum, body and fundus were 0.62, 0.56 and 0.46 respectively.
