dc.description.abstractThe frequency and characteristics of intestinal metaplasia of the stomach were studied in autopsy material of 68 Chilean adults, with ages ranging from 30-79 yr. Metaplasia was found in 76.5%, which is in agreement with the high frequency of metaplasia reported from other geographic areas of high incidence for gastric cancer. Of those stomachs with metaplasia, 90.4% had involvement of the lesser curvature, 88.5% of the antral region and only 3.8% did not show the condition in those 2 areas. The metaplasia extended to less than 1/2 of the length of the mucosa in 85.6% of the sections with this change, showing that it is mainly a patchy and multifocal condition. In subjects older than 50 yr, intestinal metaplasia was more extended and severe, and involved with a relative higher frequency the greater curvature and both anterior and posterior walls of the stomach.
