Duodenum, Biopsy: | |||
- Small bowel mucosa with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, villous | |||
architecture and crypt architecture within normal limits, see comment. | |||
- Brunner's glands present. | |||
- NEGATIVE for acute duodenitis. | |||
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia. | |||
Comment: | |||
Focally, there are approximately 50 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial | |||
lymphocytes is a nonspecific finding that may be seen in a number of conditions, including | |||
infections (e.g. Helicobacter gastritis), and autoimmune disorders (e.g. Crohn's disease). | |||
It is seen in celiac disease; correlation with TTG serology is suggested, if not done. | |||
