HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL LESIONS AT TERTIARY CARE CENTRE - RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Background: Lower gastrointestinal lesions encompass a wide range of pathologies, and their histopathological analysis is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This retrospective study aims to analyze the histopathological spectrum of lower GI lesions at a tertiary care center.
Methods: Study Population: The study included 357 individuals who underwent biopsies for lower GI lesions. Parameters Analyzed: Data on age, sex, organ location, type of biopsy, and microscopic findings were collected. Microscopic Analysis: All biopsy specimens underwent thorough histopathological examination. Results: A total of 357 cases were included in the study. The age and sex distribution of individuals with lower GI lesions were examined. The specific sites affected by these lesions within the lower GI tract were documented. The types of biopsy procedures performed for diagnosis were categorized. The histopathological characteristics of the lesions, including benign and malignant findings, were described.
Conclusion: This retrospective study provides valuable insights into the histopathological diversity of lower GI lesions at a tertiary care center. The comprehensive analysis of age, sex, site involvement, biopsy types, and microscopic findings enhances our understanding of lower GI pathology
