Stenosis – Narrowing caused by fibrous thickening of submucosa, atrophy of muscularis propria, and
secondary epithelial damage.
2. Atresia – Thin, non-canalized cord, most commonly at the tracheal bifurcation.
3. Fistula – Abnormal connection can result in aspiration, suffocation, pneumonia, or severe fluid and
electrolyte imbalances.
4. Achalasia – Esophageal dysmotility; degenerative changes in neural innervation.
5. Stress ulcers – critically ill patients with shock sepsis, or severe trauma.
6. Curling ulcers – occurring in proximal duodenum associated with severe burns or trauma.
7. Cushing ulcers – stomach, duodenum, or esophagus of persons with intracranial disease, have a high
incidence of perforation.
8. Marginal ulcers (anastomotic ulcers) – may occur following partial gastrectomy; remaining stomach
connection to small intestine.
9. Aphthous ulcer (Canker sores) – shallow, hyperemic superficial ulcerations covered by a thin exudates
and rimmed by a narrow zone of erythema.
10. HSV 1 infections - group of small 1-3 mm painful vesicles.
11. Oral Candidiasis (thrush) – superficial, curd-like, gray to white inflammatory membrane readily
scraped off.
12. Fibromas – occur most often on the buccal mucosa along the bite line.
13. Pyogenic granulomas – pedunculated gingival masses, richly vascular (red to purple); dense
proliferation of immature vessels.
Causative Agents:
14. Herpes labialis – Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV 1)
15. Oral Thrush – Candida albicans
16. Mumps – Paramyxovirus
17. Ulcer – Helicobacter pylori
18. Sialadenitis – Mumps virus
19. Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus – Human Papilloma Virus 16 (HPV 16)
24. Foregut carcinoid tumor – rarely metastasize and generally cured by resection.
25. Midgut carcinoid tumor – multiple and tend to be aggressive
26. Hindgut carcinoid tumor – produce polypeptide hormones, may manifest with abdominal pain and
weight loss.
33. Intestinal type cancer – composed of glandular structures, exophytic mass or ulcerated tumor.
34. Diffuse type gastric cancer – signet ring cell; leather bottle
42. Gastric ulcer – pain immediately after eating; pain aggravated by eating.
43. Duodenal ulcer – pain hours after eating; pain at sleep.
44. Boerhaave Syndrome – repeated episodes if severe retching and vomiting, typically in a middle aged
man with recent excessive dietary and alcohol intake, transmural esophageal rupture, and mediastinitis.
45. Plummer Vinson Syndrome – difficulty in swallowing, iron deficiency anemia, glossitis, cheilosis, and
esophageal webs.
46. Zollinger Ellison Syndrome – multiple peptic ulcerations in the stomach, duodenum, and even jejunum
due to uncontrolled release of gastrin by a tumor.
47. Hyperplastic polyp – myxoid stroma with dilated tortuous glands lined by normal or reactive foveolar
epithelium
48. Gastric polyps - have irregular, cystically dilated, and elongated foveolar glands, lamina propria
edematous.
49. Fundic gland polyps – often are multiple, and are composed of cystically dilated, irregular glands lined
by flattened parietal and chief cells.
58. Trace the pathogenesis for lower esophageal adenocarcinoma using capital letters:
a. Decrease lower esophageal sphincter tone or increase abdominal pressure.
b. GERD
c. Intestinal Metaplasia (Barrett’s Esophagus)
d. Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
