Endoscopic Biopsy Interpretation

Endoscopic biopsy assessment is fundamental to the diagnosis, management, and surveillance of diseases throughout the gastrointestinal tract. In this fully revised and expanded second edition the book presents a practical framework that guides pathologists through the interpretation and reporting of gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsies. The book provides a systematic approach to inflammatory, neoplastic, and tumor-like conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, proximal small intestine, terminal ileum, and large intestine. Dedicated chapters address both diagnostic patterns and their mimics, helping readers navigate common and challenging biopsy specimens encountered in daily practice. New to this edition are chapters on the normal histology of the gastrointestinal tract, endoscopic features of gastrointestinal pathology, core biopsies of the pancreas, and the emerging role of digital pathology and artificial intelligence in endoscopic biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract. These additions reflect important developments in endoscopic practice, biopsy acquisition, and pathological assessment.

Recognizing the growing importance of clinicopathological correlation, the text emphasizes the value of endoscopic appearances in developing accurate pathological diagnoses. Readers are guided through the interpretation of biopsy findings within their clinical and endoscopic context, reinforcing the increasingly central role of pathologists in patient management and therapeutic decision-making. Written by an international group of experts, this book serves as a valuable resource for practicing pathologists, pathology trainees, and others involved in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disease. Combining contemporary knowledge with a clear diagnostic structure, Endoscopic Biopsy Interpretation: A Practical Guide 2nd Edition is an essential reference for pathologists and clinicians interested in integrating emerging sophisticated pathology techniques into endoscopic biopsies in routine practice.
