(A) Normal gastric cardia. The cardia mucosa shows relatively tightly packed mucus-secreting glands, and the lamina propria is devoid of any significant inflammation (H&E stain). (B) Carditis. There is significant expansion of the lamina propria predominantly by lymphocytes and plasma cells, spreading apart the mucus-secreting glands of the cardia (H&E; original magnification 20×).

Intestinal metaplasia of the cardia in a background of carditis. There is focal replacement of the gastric glands by intestinal metaplasia, characterized by the presence of goblet cells (arrow). The surrounding lamina propria is expanded predominantly by lymphocytes and plasma cells, indicative of carditis (H&E; original magnification 20×).
