Background: Upper gastrointestinal lesions run the gamut from inflammatory lesions to carcinoma. Endoscopy has greatly facilitated biopsy diagnosis. Present study reveals spectrum of benign upper gastro intestinal lesions obtained by endoscopic biopsy.

Aims:

1) To study types of lesions

2) Comparison with Indian and Western literature.

Setting & Design: It is observational study. Patients with upper gastro-intestinal complaints were subjected to endoscopy and biopsy of lesions observed.

Material and Method: 701 upper gastro-intestinal biopsies were received and 283 were benign in three years study. The tissue was routinely processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.

Results and Conclusion: Majority of biopsies were gastric. Interesting lesions were - eosinophilic gastritis without parasitic infestation or eosinophilia; trichuris trichura in stomach; adult pyloric stenosis, fundic gland polyp with parietal cell hyperplasia in omeprazole user, ampullary heterotopic pancreas and duodenal ankylostomiasis. When compared with indian and western literature, this study too proves that endoscopic biopsy is useful in diagnosis, reducing surgeries.
