Duodenum, biopsy: 1. Duodenal mucosa with no significant pathologic abnormalities. 2. No significant inflammation identified. B. Stomach, biopsy: 1. Gastric mucosa with no significant pathologic abnormalities. 2. No significant inflammation or Helicobacter pylori organisms identified. C. Gastroesophageal junction, biopsy: 1. Squamous mucosa with focal intraepithelial eosinophils (maximum 5 per high-power field); see comment. 2. Glandular mucosa consistent with gastric cardia showing focal pancreatic metaplasia. 3.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
There's nothing for you to worry.
There's no ulceration or inflammation in the stomach and the first part of the small intestine ( duodenum ). There is no Helicobacter Pylori, the organism producing inflammation and ulcers. There are some signs of inflammation at junction of the stomach and the food pipe ( esophagus ). This kind of inflammation is associated with GERD, the condition producing heart burn.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.

Okay so what does this mean below:
Glandular mucosa consistent with gastric cardia showing focal pancreatic metaplasia
Brief Answer:
Not a cause of concern
Detailed Answer:
The glandular cells show some changes and look like cells of pancreas. This is not uncommon in biopsies of the esophagus and stomach. It is not indicative of cancer if you are worried about the same. It may even be congenital.
