According to clinical and histological researches, a conclusion can be accepted that the chronic atrophic gastritis is a very serious precancerous condition of stomach. Biological key and connection between these two entities seemed to be intestinal metaplasia, but it has been suggested lately, that the dysplasia of gastric mucose was responsible for malignant proliferation in stomach mucose. The aim of this study was to determine the precancerous potential of the chronic atrophic gastritis, measuring the frequency of dysplasia of gastric mucose, type II and III, which are considered as precancerous lesions. The results (according to t-test) in the tested group (61 patient with histologically proved chronic atrophic gastritis) comparing to the control group (64 healthy persons), showed statistically highly significant difference in appearance of dysplasia of gastric mucose type II and III. It confirms high precancerous potential of the chronic atrophic gastritis and the need for frequent endoscopic and histologic examinations of these patients.

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.
