Peptic duodenitis is controversial type of chronic duodenitis.
This article deals with that controversy and foveolar metaplasia of the duodenum.
General
- Peptic duodenitis is 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.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Gastric foveolar metaplasia - key feature.
- Brunner's gland hyperplasia.
- +/-Inflammation - neutrophils.[citation needed]
- Ulceration.[citation needed]
DDx:
- Chronic duodenitis not otherwise specified - no foveolar metaplasia, abundant plasma cells.
- Acute duodenitis.
- Brunner's gland hyperplasia.
- Gastric heterotopia of the duodenum.
- Helicobacter duodenitis.

Chronic duodenitis
Duodenum, Biopsy: - Small bowel mucosa with Brunner’s gland in the lamina propria and gastric foveolar metaplasia, consistent with chronic duodenitis. - NEGATIVE for acute duodenitis. - NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy.
DUODENUM, BIOPSY: - SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITH BRUNNER'S GLAND IN THE LAMINA PROPRIA AND GASTRIC FOVEOLAR METAPLASIA -- CONSISTENT WITH CHRONIC DUODENITIS. - NEGATIVE FOR ACUTE DUODENITIS. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
DUODENUM, BIOPSY: - SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITH PROMINENT BRUNNER'S GLANDS AND FOCAL GASTRIC 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.
