The '''duodenum''' is the first part of the [[small bowel]] and receives food from the [[stomach]].  It is accessible by EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and frequently biopsied.

Latest revision as of 14:28, 14 June 2024

The duodenum is the first part of the small bowel and receives food from the stomach. It is accessible by EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and frequently biopsied.

Schematic of the duodenum. (WC/Luke Guthmann)

An introduction to gastrointestinal pathology is in the gastrointestinal pathology article.

The clinical history is often: r/o celiac or r/o giardia.

Getting started

Normal duodenum

  • Abbreviated ND.

General

  • Very common.

Microscopic

  • Three tall villi.
  • Few intraepithelial lymphocytes; < 1 lymphocyte / 4 epithelial cells.
  • No (pink) subepithelial collagen band.
  • Predominant lamina propria cell: plasma cells.
  • No organisms in lumen.

DDx:

Sign out

Duodenum, Biopsy:
- Small bowel mucosa and Brunner's glands within normal limits.
Duodenum, Biopsy:
- Small bowel mucosa within normal limits.

Duodenum, Biopsy:
- Small bowel mucosa within normal limits.
- NEGATIVE for findings suggestive of celiac disease.

Small Bowel (Duodenum), Biopsy:
- Small bowel mucosa within normal limits.
- NEGATIVE for findings suggestive of celiac disease.

Block letters

DUODENUM, BIOPSY: 
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA AND BRUNNER'S GLANDS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.

DUODENUM, BIOPSY: 
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.

DUODENUM, BIOPSY: 
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- NEGATIVE FOR FINDINGS SUGGESTIVE OF CELIAC DISEASE.

SMALL BOWEL (DUODENUM), BIOPSY: 
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS.
- NEGATIVE FOR FINDINGS SUGGESTIVE OF CELIAC DISEASE.

Basic DDx

  • Celiac sprue.
    • Intraepithelial lymphocytes - key feature.
    • Loss of villi.
  • Giardia.
    • Like celiac... but giardia organisms.
  • Adenomas.
    • Too much blue - similar to colonic adenomas.
  • Cancer.
    • Too much blue and epithelium in the wrong place.

  • Abbreviated BGH.
  • AKA Brunneroma.[4]

General

  • Benign.
  • Usually asymptomatic.[5]

Note:

  • The AFIP uses the term Brunner's gland hamartoma for lesions > 5 mm.[6]
    • Multiple lesions less than 5 mm are hyperplasia.

Gross

  • Nodularity of the duodenum.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Prominent Brunner's gland.
