Aims and Objectives: To determine the spectrum of histopathological lesions of stomach and to establish histopathological examination of endoscopic biopsies as an effective tool in the proper diagnosis and management of gastric lesions. Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on gastric endoscopic biopsies and histopathological evaluation was done in a private diagnostic centre in Karimnagar. Results: Male predominance was noted in gastric lesions. In non-neoplastic lesions chronic gastritis was most common, followed by hyperplastic polyps. In neoplastic lesions, adenocarcinoma was most common followed by signet ring cell carcinoma. Commonest site of biopsy was pylorus followed by cardia of stomach.
