Small Bowel, Excision during Obesity Surgery:
- Small bowel wall with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, otherwise within normal limits, see comment.
Comment:
The focal increased intraepithelial lymphocytes are favoured to be a reactive phenomenon; however, clinical correlation is suggested.
Immunostains show that the lymphocytes are predominantly T cells (CD3 >> CD20).
