Background: Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases are one of the most common entities we come across in dayto-day practice. Given its sheer length and extent, there is a possibility of various pathologies affecting individual segments of the entire tract. Ranging from congenital anomalies, acute and/or chronic inflammations, inflammatory conditions to neoplastic conditions including both, benign as well as malignant lesions, the spectrum of diseases which can occur individually or in combination with various segments is wide. In the present study, we aim to understand and analyse various diseases encountered during the study period. Materials and Method: The present study was conducted in the department of Pathology, of a tertiary rural care hospital, over a period of 1 year (Jan 2014 to Dec 2014). All non-malignant cases which were confirmed on histopathology were studied. Detailed clinical and radiological history was obtained. All the data was then further analysed. Result: A total of 263 cases were received. Of these, 198 (75.29%) cases were non-malignant, whereas 65 (24.71%) cases were malignant. 100 (50.50%) were males while 98 (49.50%) were females. Mean age was 48.2 years. Most common affected site was appendix with 146 (73.73%) cases. Chronic inflammatory lesions were most commonly encountered with 62 (31.31%) cases. We had 02 (1.01%) inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and 03 (1.52%) polyps. Conclusion: Numerous infectious, inflammatory and other conditions were encountered in our study. A plethora of lesions can potentially affect the GI tract. Accurate diagnosis of these conditions is of paramount importance. Keyword: Gastrointestinal tract, Non-malignant, IBD.
