Acute duodenitis
Diagnosis in short

Acute duodenitis. H&E stain.

LM neutrophils - "found without searching", eosinophils - "found without searching", plasma cells (increased), intraepithelial lymphocytes
Site duodenum

Associated Dx Helicobacter gastritis
Prevalence uncommon
Endoscopy erythema
Prognosis benign
Treatment dependent on underlying cause

Acute duodenitis, abbreviated AD, is an acute inflammatory process of the duodenum. It is relatively uncommon.

Notes:

  • One needs stomach concurrent biopsies to r/o Helicobactor.
  • Erosions make celiac sprue much less likely.
  • Presence of chronic inflammation useful for NSAIDs vs. Helicobacter organisms:
    • NSAIDs not commonly assoc. with acute inflammation;[3] thus, without chronic inflammation NSAIDs are unlikely.
      • Acute NSAID-related duodenitis reported.[4]

Micro

The sections show small bowel mucosa with intraepithelial neutrophils. The epithelium shows nuclear hyperchromasia, pseudostratification and nuclear enlargement; however, it matures toward the surface (reactive changes of the epithelium).

Brunner's glands are found focally in the lamina propria. Gastric foveolar-type epithelium is identified. Lamina propria plasma cells are abundant.
