Intestinal metaplasia of the stomach is a relative common finding that is associated with a modest increased risk of gastric carcinoma.
It is also known as gastric intestinal metaplasia and may be abbreviated IM.
General
- Often part of surgical pathology report, e.g. "negative for intestinal metaplasia" or "intestinal metaplasia present".
- May be associated with Helicobacter spp. infection -- though Helicobacter don't like intestinal type mucosa, i.e. H. pylori are not typically found in regions with intestinal metaplasia.
- May be reversible - some epidemiological evidence.[1]
- Associated with gastric carcinomas of Lynch syndrome;[2] however, surveillance may not be worthwhile.[3]
Significance:
- Moderate risk increase for carcinoma; risk less than for Barrett's esophagus.[4]
- Odds ratio for corpus (~5.8x) higher than antrum (2.3x) when compared to individuals without IM.[5]
Gross/endoscopic
- +/-Erythema.
- Often associated with chronic gastritis.
Microscopic
Features:
- Goblet cells are present in the stomach - key feature.[6]
- In H&E sections the vacuole often stains light grey.
- Foveolar epithelium should be present in the same fragment.
- +/-Paneth cells - deep in the glands.[7]
- Very rarely present.
- Very uncommon in isolation.
Notes:
- Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is occasionally subdivided:[8]
- Complete IM = goblet cells and (intestinal) brush border.
- Incomplete IM = mucus vacuoles of various sizes, no (intestinal) brush border.
- Goblet cells metaplasia starts in the neck region of the gastric glands.[9]
DDx:
- Normal small bowel mucosa - no foveolar epithelium present, possibly a contaminant from a concurrent duodenal biopsy.
- Gastric dysplasia, intestinal type.
Images
Stomach IM - intermed. mag. (WC)
Stomach IM - high mag. (WC)
Stains
- Alcian blue (pH 2.5)/PAS +ve.[10]
- Alican blue stain +ve.[citation needed]
Image
Barrett's mucosa - Alcian blue stain. (WC)
IHC
- CDX2 +ve (-ve in normal stomach).[1]
- Strong assoc. with Helicobacter gastritis as well as IM.[13]
Others:
- Lysozyme +ve - marks paneth cells.[7]

Focal
STOMACH, BIOPSY: - BODY-TYPE GASTRIC MUCOSA WITH INTESTINAL METAPLASIA, FOCAL. - MINIMAL CHRONIC GASTRITIS (BODY OF STOMACH). - NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
STOMACH, BIOPSY: - ANTRAL-TYPE GASTRIC MUCOSA WITH FOCAL INTESTINAL METAPLASIA AND MILD CHRONIC INACTIVE INFLAMMATION. - NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTER-LIKE ORGANISMS. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Extensive
STOMACH, BIOPSY: - SUPERFICIAL GASTRIC MUCOSA WITH EXTENSIVE INTESTINAL METAPLASIA AND MODERATE CHRONIC INACTIVE INFLAMMATION. - NEGATIVE FOR HELICOBACTOR-LIKE ORGANISMS. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
