Abstract
Incidence of neoplastic and non-neoplastic esophageal lesions. The present study aimed to evaluate the site of occurrence of esophageal carcinomas and to study the various types of esophagitis with histochemical stains. A total of 104 esophageal lesions were received by endoscopic biopsy. A thorough Microscopic evaluation was done in each case. This proves that microscopic examination is the confirmatory diagnostic tool. The microscopic examination along with the accessory histochemical stain, immunohistochemistry for HSV antigen, p53 expression helped to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
