with central ulceration or white plaque
- Oesophagus
- Alcohol, smoking, hot beverages,
nutritional deficiency, HPV
- Middle 1/3 of oesophagus, grey white
plaque in masses or diffuse thicknening
- Insidious onset, 5yr survival 9%
- Dysphagia, odynophagia, obstruction, +/- ulceration
- Oropharynx

hyperchromasia, FAP
- Appendix

- Clinical: dyspepsia,
dysphagia, altered bowel
habits, nausea, anaemia
- Intestinal type: bulky & glandular,
Signet ring cell type: diffuse
- Antrum & lesser curvature
- Duodenum
- Colon
- Tall columnar cells, variable
differentiation & gland formation
- Insidious development, IDA, occult
bleeding, ab cramps, BM change
- Appendix
- Mucocele: benign cyst
- Pseudomyoma peritoneii: slow
tumour, mucus production> ascites
- Obstruction + enlargement
mimics acute appendicitis
- Lymphoma
- Stomach: lymphocytic
infiltrate in lamina propria
- Cause chronic inflammation:
EBV & H.pylori infection

spreads to lymph nodes

submucosal +/- ulceration, island & trabeculae cell structure
- More common in ileum & jejunum
- Asym, ab pain, metastatic disease, obstruction
- Carcinoid syndrome: ileal tumours release vasoactive substances >
flushing, sweating, bronchospasm, colicky ab pain, diarrhoea
- Appendix
- Non-neoplastic
- Colon
- Inflammatory polyp: injury
+ regeneration cycles
- Hamartoma: growth of
mature tissues at site where
they normally develop, FAP
