DUODENUM, BIOPSY: | |||

BLUNTING, PROMINENT BRUNNER'S GLANDS, ABUNDANT LAMINA PROPRIA PLASMA CELLS | |||
AND OCCASIONAL INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, WITHOUT FOVEOLAR METAPLASIA). | |||

==Peptic duodenitis== | |||
===General=== | |||
*A 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. | |||
