Rare presentations are surprising and may disturb the day-to-day routine of a medical unit; however, they are expected (not as individual entities, but as a group of “uncommon causes”). While reviewing the literature in relation to three clinical cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) encountered in our institution—gastric metastases of breast cancer (GMB), pyloric gland adenoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)—we identified seven and 29 case reports for the first two entities, and over 100 publications addressing GIST. This prompted a shift in focus from novel reporting to diagnostic contextualization. We found it difficult to obtain an overview of the spectrum of UGIB etiologies, as most publications refer to a few individual entities or to a subgroup of rare causes. The narrative review we conducted arose from this particular research methodology. Based on a broad literature search, UGIB etiologies were organized in five categories (lesions of the mucosa, neoplasms, vascular causes, bleeding predisposition, and external sources of bleeding). In the management of patients with UGIB, the underlying etiology deviates from the classic peptic ulcer disease/esophageal varices dyad in approximately half of the cases. This underscores the need for heightened clinical vigilance, particularly in complex scenarios, where endoscopic findings, imaging results, and histopathological interpretations may be unexpected or prone to misinterpretation. As an illustration, we conducted two systematic reviews of case reports of bleeding GMB and PGA. Our findings support a proactive diagnostic and research mindset and advocate for improved awareness of uncommon UGIB etiologies. Full article

Abstract
There are several types of microvasculature supplying neoplasms: “newly formed blood vessels” (neoangiogenesis), which are a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of invasive carcinoma with wound healing-like reaction; and “pre-existing blood vessels”, which are used as tumor-supplying vessels by neoplasms (co-option vessels) [...] Read more.
There are several types of microvasculature supplying neoplasms: “newly formed blood vessels” (neoangiogenesis), which are a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of invasive carcinoma with wound healing-like reaction; and “pre-existing blood vessels”, which are used as tumor-supplying vessels by neoplasms (co-option vessels) and are likely to develop in hypervascularized organs. We herein review the microvasculature of neoplasms of biliary tract with reference to pre-existing vessels and vessel co-options. In the hepatobiliary system, intrahepatic large and extrahepatic bile ducts (large bile ducts) and the gallbladder as well as hepatic lobules are highly vascularized regions. In large bile ducts, the biliary lining epithelia and underlining capillaries (peribiliary capillary plexus [PCP]) form the biliary epithelia–PCP alignment, whereas the hepatocyte–sinusoid alignment composes hepatic lobules. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) are the main biliary tract carcinomas. CCA is subdivided into distal (d/CCA), perihilar (pCCA), and intrahepatic (iCCA), and iCCA is subdivided into small duct type (SD-iCCA) and large duct type (LD-iCCA). High-grade biliary intraepithelial neoplasm (BilIN), intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), pyloric gland adenoma (PGA), and intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) have recently been proposed as the precursors of LD-iCCA, p/dCCA, and GBC. In the large bile ducts and gallbladder, all cases of high-grade BilIN and PGA, about half of IPNB, and one-third of ICPN with less-complicated structure were found to have hijacked the PCP as their supporting vessels (vessel co-option), while p/dCCA, LD-iCCA, and GBC were supplied by neo-angiogenetic vessels associated with fibrous stroma. The intraluminal components of the remaining cases of ICPN and IPNB with complicated structure presented sparse capillaries without fibrous stroma, a unique microvasculature different from that of co-option or neoangiogenesis. Regarding iCCA showing invasion into the hepatic lobules, some SD-iCCAs replaced hepatocytic cords and used pre-existing sinusoids as co-opted vessels. Visualization of pre-existing vessels could be a new pathological tool for the evaluation of malignant progression and of vascular supply in CCAs and its precursors. Full article

Understanding the pathogenesis and carcinogenesis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma is important. The fifth edition of the World Health Organization’s tumor classification of the digestive system indicates three types of preinvasive neoplasm of the gallbladder: pyloric gland adenoma (PGA), biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN), and intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN). New terminologies have also been introduced, such as intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm, gastric pyloric, simple mucinous type, and intracholecystic tubular non-mucinous neoplasm (ICTN). Pancreatobiliary maljunction (PBM) poses a markedly high risk for bile duct carcinoma, which was analyzed and investigated mainly by Asian researchers in the past; however, recent studies have clarified a similar significance of biliary carcinogenesis in Western countries as well. In this study, we reviewed and summarized information on three gallbladder neoplastic precursors, PGA, BilIN, and ICPN, and gallbladder lesions in patients with PBM. Full article

Background: We aimed to provide insight into the actual frequencies of gastric adenoma types and their association with gastritis status and associated mucosal changes with a focus on Helicobacter infection and the operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA)/operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) staging. Methods: From the archive of the Institute of Pathology in Bayreuth, we collected a consecutive series of 1058 gastric adenomas diagnosed between 1987 and 2017. Clinicopathological parameters retrieved from diagnostic reports included adenoma type and localization, associated mucosal changes in antrum and corpus (i.e., type of gastritis, the extent of intestinal metaplasia and atrophy), gender, date of birth, and date of diagnosis. Results: Intestinal-type adenoma was the most frequent adenoma (89.1%), followed by foveolar-type adenoma (4.3%), pyloric gland adenoma (3.4%), adenomas associated with hereditary tumor syndromes (2.8%), and oxyntic gland adenoma (0.4%). Adenomas were found in the background of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis in 23.9%, Ex-H. pylori gastritis in 36.0%, autoimmune gastritis in 24.8%, chemical reactive gastritis in 7.4%, and others in 0.1%. More than 70% of patients with gastric adenomas had low-risk stages in OLGA and OLGIM. Conclusions: We found a higher frequency of foveolar-type adenoma than anticipated from the literature. It needs to be questioned whether OLGA/OLGIM staging can be applied to all patients. Full article
