German term or phrase: Epitheluntergang, Epitheluntergänge
This is a term I find all over the web in German, but I am unable to find a good English reference for it. A google search for this term will give you plenty of hits, so you can see the context. The current translation I am working on says "Auffallend waren Epitheluntergänge im Drüsenbereich"... its an article on gastritis.

epithelial necrosis


Explanation:
'Untergang' can be translated as demise, decay, collapse or extinction;
'necrosis' can be defined as "the death of most or all of the cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury, or failure of the blood supply".
So 'epithelial necrosis' might be an option for 'Epitheluntergang'.

neutral  Lirka: I would be careful with "necrosis"-- it is very specific, while Untergang is not
