Abstract

Endoscopic biopsy is the most important procedure to obtain gastrointestinal (GI) tissue for histological assessment. The advance of endoscopic technology has enabled us to better visualize and evaluate GI disorders. Carefully and properly handling the biopsy tissue to prepare the slides for staining is crucial for the subsequent histological examination. Besides routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, other special histochemical and immunohistochemical stains can provide valuable information to help the diagnosis.
