Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been reported to be present in some 7% of gastric carcinomas, the nature of the background gastric mucosa of carcinoma has not been elucidated. The authors evaluated the degree of gastritis in the background gastric mucosa of EBV-associated gastric carcinoma. EBV was detected using in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded small ribonucleic acid 1 (EBER-1) in carcinoma cells. The authors compared gastritis in surgically resected stomachs with 8 EBER-1-positive and 16 EBER-1-negative gastric carcinomas of a similar histologic type using histologic variables of the Updated Sydney System. All eight lesions of EBER-1-positive gastric carcinomas had intestinal metaplasia in the background. Mild to moderate glandular atrophy was common in both groups. Many of the tested lesions, 87.5% of EBER-1-positive and 62.5% of EBER-1-negative lesions, were located near the mucosal atrophic border. The background gastric mucosa for EBV-associated gastric carcinomas is rich in atrophic changes. EBV-associated gastric carcinomas are located near the mucosal atrophic border.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D005757 Gastritis, Atrophic GASTRITIS with atrophy of the GASTRIC MUCOSA, the GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS, and the mucosal glands leading to ACHLORHYDRIA. Atrophic gastritis usually progresses from chronic gastritis. Atrophic Gastritides,Atrophic Gastritis,Gastritides, Atrophic
