===General===
{{Main|Peptic duodenitis}}
*A somewhat controversial type of [[chronic duodenitis]].
*Considered to be a consequence of [[peptic ulcer disease]] ([[Helicobacter gastritis]]).
*One of the key components of the diagnosis is foveolar metaplasia and it is disputed that this is really due to Helicobacter.
**Genta ''et al.'' consider gastric foveolar metaplasia a congenital lesion.<ref name=pmid20656325>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Genta | first1 = RM. | last2 = Kinsey | first2 = RS. | last3 = Singhal | first3 = A. | last4 = Suterwala | first4 = S. | title = Gastric foveolar metaplasia and gastric heterotopia in the duodenum: no evidence of an etiologic role for Helicobacter pylori. | journal = Hum Pathol | volume = 41 | issue = 11 | pages = 1593-600 | month = Nov | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1016/j.humpath.2010.04.010 | PMID = 20656325 }}</ref>

  FOVEOLAR METAPLASIA.
- NEGATIVE FOR ACUTE INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA.

=====Micro=====
The sections show small bowel mucosa and a small amount of submucosa. Brunner's glands are abundant and found focally in the lamina propria. Gastric foveolar-type epithelium is identified. Intraepithelial neutrophils are not identified.
 
The epithelium matures appropriately. There is no increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes.
