Background: Ciliated cells in gastrectomies from patients dwelling in the Pacific and Atlantic basins have been reported previously.
Ciliated cells and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were recorded; IM was classified into focal or extensive IM.
Results: In the Atlantic basin, 5% of specimens had ciliated metaplasia (CM); it was more frequent in
intestinal carcinoma (IC; 9%) than diffuse carcinoma (DC; 3%) or miscellaneous gastric diseases (MGD;
3%).
