Practical Approach to the Flattened Duodenal Biopsy.
Surgical Pathology Clinics 2017 December
Celiac disease features duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytosis with or without villous atrophy. Lymphocytosis without villous atrophy will be proven to represent celiac disease in 10% to 20% of cases. The differential diagnosis is broad: Helicobacter pylori gastritis, NSAID injury and bacterial overgrowth are considerations. Lymphocytosis with villous atrophy is very likely to be celiac disease, but there are mimics to consider, including collagenous sprue, tropical sprue, drug injury, and common variable immunodeficiency. Histologic clues to a diagnosis other than celiac disease include paucity of plasma cells, excess of neutrophils, granulomas, and relative paucity of intraepithelial lymphocytes.
