| 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. | | 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 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).

| The significance of the increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is unknown. Causes of IELs (infection, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease) should be considered clinically.
