Abstract
Background: Gastric carcinoma is common worldwide. It is one of the most common encountered problems in clinical practice with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of gastric carcinoma depends on clinical, radiological, biochemical and pathological parameters. Endoscopic biopsy is widely regarded as the most useful diagnostic test and should be correlated histologically for a confirmatory diagnosis and for proper treatment.
Objective: To assess the clinico-pathological aspect of gastric carcinoma in a rural tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A total of 22 cases diagnosed as malignancy of stomach in Department of Pathology Rajah Muthiah Medical College were taken for the study.
Results: Out of 22 cases, most common age group at which malignancy of stomach was diagnosed was around 51- 60 years. Maximum number of cases was found in males. The most common histological type was found to be Intestinal type of Gastric Adenocarcinoma.
Keywords: Gastric carcinoma, Age incidence, Histological type.
