The absence of a plus sign for intestinal chemosis means that intestinal epithelialization is not present in the pathology specimen taken and is not meant to be serious.
Intestinal epithelialization is the replacement of epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa by intestinal-type epithelial cells, i.e., the presence in the gastric mucosa of cuprocytes, Panet cells, and other cells that should be found in the epithelial cells of the small or large intestine. This description of intestinal epithelial hyperplasia is usually found in the pathology report of gastroscopy, and if it is positive, it represents the presence of precancerous lesions in the tissue sent for examination, and further treatment is recommended.
Therefore, if it is negative, it means that intestinal epithelialization does not exist in the examined area, which means that it is not serious, and the patient does not need to be overly worried, and can be monitored dynamically with regular reviews.
