Clinical Information
Esophagogastric Junction
the area covering the terminal portion of esophagus and the beginning of stomach at the cardiac orifice.Pyloric Stenosis
narrowing of the pyloric canal with varied etiology. a common form is due to muscle hypertrophy (pyloric stenosis, hypertrophic) seen in infants.Pylorus
the region of the stomach at the junction with the duodenum. it is marked by the thickening of circular muscle layers forming the pyloric sphincter to control the opening and closure of the lumen.Bariatric Surgery
surgical procedures aimed at affecting metabolism and producing major weight reduction in patients with morbid obesity.Diverticulosis, Stomach
a pathological condition characterized by the presence of a number of gastric diverticula in the stomach.Diverticulum, Stomach
saccular, outward protrusion of all or a portion of the wall of the stomach.Gastric Absorption
uptake of substances via the stomach.Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia
a distinct vascular lesion in the pyloric antrum that is characterized by tortuous dilated blood vessels (ectasia) radiating outward from the pylorus. the vessel pattern resembles the stripes on the surface of a watermelon. this lesion causes both acute and chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Gastric Dilatation
abnormal distention of the stomach due to accumulation of gastric contents that may reach 10 to 15 liters. gastric dilatation may be the result of gastric outlet obstruction; ileus; gastroparesis; or denervation.Gastric Fistula
abnormal passage communicating with the stomach.Gastric Stump
that portion of the stomach remaining after gastric surgery, usually gastrectomy or gastroenterostomy for cancer of the stomach or peptic ulcer. it is a common site of cancer referred to as stump cancer or carcinoma of the gastric stump.Gastrointestinal Contents
the contents included in all or any segment of the gastrointestinal tract.Receptor-Like Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Class 3
a subclass of receptor-like protein tryosine phosphatases that contain a single cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphate domain and multiple extracellular fibronectin iii-like domains.Stomach
an organ of digestion situated in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen between the termination of the esophagus and the beginning of the duodenum.Stomach Diseases
pathological processes involving the stomach.Stomach Neoplasms
tumors or cancer of the stomach.Stomach Rupture
bursting of the stomach.Stomach Ulcer
ulceration of the gastric mucosa due to contact with gastric juice. it is often associated with helicobacter pylori infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids).Stomach Volvulus
twisting of the stomach that may result in gastric ischemia and gastric outlet obstruction. it is often associated with diaphragmatic hernia.Stomach, Avian
a component of the digestive system of birds which consists of the gizzard and proventriculus.Stomach, Ruminant
a component of the digestive system of ruminants which consists of the abomasum; omasum; reticulum; and rumen.

Table of Neoplasms
This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education
Stomach Disorders
Your stomach is an organ between your esophagus and small intestine. It is where digestion of protein begins. The stomach has three tasks. It stores swallowed food. It mixes the food with stomach acids. Then it sends the mixture on to the small intestine.
Most people have a problem with their stomach at one time or another. Indigestion and heartburn are common problems. You can relieve some stomach problems with over-the-counter medicines and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding fatty foods or eating more slowly. Other problems like peptic ulcers or GERD require medical attention.
You should see a doctor if you have any of the following:
- Blood when you have a bowel movement
- Severe abdominal pain
- Heartburn not relieved by antacids
- Unintended weight loss
- Ongoing vomiting or diarrhea

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
