Superficial bx: When a lesion develops in the bowel or stomach, the former from a polyoma virus, the latter from helicobacter pylori, the initial premalignant (genotypic transformation) occurs in the mucosa. This is the glandular lining of the GI tract. If the bx of mucosa proves benign, it is not necessary to re:excise the area with underlying muscular layer.
