Updates and Challenges in Gastrointestinal Pathology

Gastrointestinal pathology accounts for a large portion of the specimens encountered in most surgical pathology departments. There are several reasons for this, including the wide availability of colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy and the high incidence of gastrointestinal carcinomas. Many of these cases can be fairly straightforward and present little challenge to most practicing pathologists. However, the larger a case volume, the more likely a pathologist is to encounter a challenging case, meaning that one day ’s stack of gastrointestinal pathology specimens can throw several curveballs.
