Duodenum, Biopsy:
- Small bowel mucosa with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, villous
  architecture and crypt architecture within normal limits, see comment.
- Brunner's glands present.
- NEGATIVE for acute duodenitis.
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia.
Comment:
Focally, there are approximately 50 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial
lymphocytes is a nonspecific finding that may be seen in a number of conditions, including
infections (e.g. Helicobacter gastritis), obesity, and autoimmune disorders (e.g. Crohn's
disease).  It is seen in celiac disease; correlation with serology is suggested, if not done.

There are approximately 45 lymphocytes/100 enterocytes. Increased intraepithelial

====Micro====
The sections show small bowel mucosa with Brunner's glands. Increased numbers of
intraepithelial lymphocytes are present ~ 50 lymphocytes/100 epithelial cells.
The villous architecture is within normal limits (no apparent villous blunting).
Neutrophils are present in the lamina propria; however, they are not found intraepithelial.
The epithelium matures normally to the surface (no dysplasia).
