The morphogenesis of a papillomatous gastric polyp in the crab-eating monkey (Macaca fascicularis). 1983

I Narama, and M Tsuchitani, and T Umemura, and M Tsuruta

The histopathology of gastric papillomas in 17 crab-eating monkeys from Indonesia and Malaysia was investigated. The changes in the affected mucosa consisted of papillomatous proliferation with accidental heterotopia, desquamation or necrosis of the epithelium associated with eggs or adults of the small nematode Nochtia nochti, inflammatory cell infiltration and haemorrhage or oedema and fibrosis. The primary pathogenic effect of this parasite was due to its irritant action on the gastric mucosa. Hyper-regeneration, with a downward shift of the proliferating zone in the gastric gland and an inflammatory process, appeared to play a significant role in the morphogenesis of this lesion. It is concluded that the gastric papilloma associated with Nochtia nochti in the monkey is a parasitic inflammatory polyp.

D011127 Polyps Discrete abnormal tissue masses that protrude into the lumen of the DIGESTIVE TRACT or the RESPIRATORY TRACT. Polyps can be spheroidal, hemispheroidal, or irregular mound-shaped structures attached to the MUCOUS MEMBRANE of the lumen wall either by a stalk, pedunculus, or by a broad base. Polyp
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.
