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.
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.
- Lack of plasma cells suggests common variable immunodeficiency (CVID).[1]
- No organisms in lumen.
DDx:
- Intestinal metaplasia of the stomach - foveolar epithelium + other histologic components of the stomach.
- Chronic duodenitis - foveolar epithelium, Brunner's gland hyperplasia.

Basic DDx
- Celiac sprue.
- Intraepithelial lymphocytes - key feature.
- Loss of villi.

- Adenomas.
- Too much blue - similar to colonic adenomas.
- Cancer.
- Too much blue and epithelium in the wrong place.
More
- H. pylori only in areas of gastric metaplasia.[2]

- Microsporidia.
- Isospora belli.
- Cyclospora.
- MAC (Mycobacterium avium complex).
- CMV (cytomegalovirus).

Common stuffs
Gastric heterotopia of the duodenum
- AKA heterotopic gastric mucosa.
General
- Common ~15% of cases in one series.[4]
- Probably not related to Helicobacter pylori.[5]
Gross
- Typically nodules/polyps.[6]
Microscopic
Features:

Celiac sprue
Main article: Celiac sprue
General
- Etiology: autoimmune.
Epidemiology
- Associated with:
- The skin condition dermatitis herpetiformis.[8]
- IgA deficiency - 10-15X more common in celiac disease vs. healthy controls.[9]
- Risk factor for gastrointestinal T cell lymphoma - known as: enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma (EATL).
Clinical
Treatment:
- Gluten free diet.
- Mnemonic: BROW = barley, rye, oats, wheat.
Serologic testing:
- Anti-transglutaminase antibody.
- Alternative test: anti-endomysial antibody.
- IgA -- assoc. with celiac sprue.
Microscopic
Features:[10]
- Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) - key feature.
- Loss of villi - important feature.
- Normal duodenal biopsy should have 3 good villi.
- Plasma cells - abundant (weak feature).
- Macrophages.
- Mitosis increased (in the crypts).
- +/-Collagen band (pink material in mucosa) - "Collagenous sprue"; must encompass ~25% of mucosa.
Image:
Notes:
- If you see acute inflammatory cells, i.e. neutrophils, consider Giardiasis and other infectious etiologies.
- Biopsy should consist of 2-3 sites. In children it is important to sample the duodenal cap, as it is the only affected site in ~10% of cases.
- Flat lesions without IELs are unlikely to be celiac sprue.
- Mucosa erosions are rare in celiac sprue; should prompt consideration of an alternate diagnosis (infection, medications, Crohn's disease).
Grading
Rarely done - see celiac sprue article.
Giardiasis
Main article: Giardiasis
Acute duodenitis
- Abbreviated AD.
General
DDx:
- Infection.

Microscopic
Features:

- Eosinophils - "found without searching" - key feature.
- Plasma cells (increased).
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:
