Small Bowel, Excision During Gastric Bypass: - Small bowel wall with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, otherwise within normal limits, see comment. Comment: The increased intraepithelial lymphocytes are likely explained by obesity; however, other causes (such as infection, inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease) should be considered within the clinical context.
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).
Small Bowel, Excision During Gastric Bypass:
- Small bowel wall with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes,
otherwise within normal limits.
Comment:
The significance of the increased intraepithelial lymphocytes is unknown. Clinical correlation is suggested.
Small Bowel, Excision During Gastric Bypass:
- Small bowel wall with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes,
otherwise within normal limits.
Comment:
The significance of the increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is unknown. Causes of IELs (infection, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease) should be considered clinically.
