The sections show colorectal-type mucosa with focal cryptitis and rare neutrophilic crypt | |||
abscesses. There are up to 80 eosinophils per high power field (HPF), where one HPF is | |||
~0.2376 mm*mm. No eosinophilic crypt abscesses are identified. Paneth cells are | |||
present focally; however, the significance of the paneth cells cannot determined as the | |||
biopsy sites are not known. | |||
