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''.
The clinical history is often: ''r/o celiac'' or ''r/o giardia''.

Notes:
====Micro====
*If you see acute inflammatory cells consider Giardiasis.
The sections show small bowel mucosa and a small amount of submucosa. Brunner's glands are abundant and found focally in the lamina propria. 


===Treatment===
The epithelium matures appropriately. There is no increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes.  No foveolar metaplasia of the epithelium is identified.
*Gluten free diet.
