Rosai Chapter 15 - Small Bowel Flashcards
The anatomic landmark for the duodenojejunal junction, at which site the bowel becomes unfixed and wrapped in mesentery
Ligament of Treitz
other name of Transverse mucosal folds in the innerside of the small bowel
Valvulae conniventes or Kerckring folds
a two-lip structure in which lymphoid tissue and often adipose tissue tends to accumulate and where the small bowel ends
ileocecal valve
What small bowel segment?
Mucosa is Short and Stubby (sometimes leaf-like)
Duodenum
What small bowel segment?
Mucosa is Tall and Club-like
Jejunum
What small bowel segment?
Mucosa is of intermediate height
Ileum
IHC of Normal small bowel enterocytes
Pattern of CK7 and CK20
- CK7 neg
- CK20 pos
Most common location of heterotopic pancreas
Duodenum (particularly in the region of the Ampulla of Vater)
The consequence of a persistent patency of the entire vitelline duct
Enteroumbilical fistula
Most common complication of total intestinal aganglionosis
Enterocolitis
Transverse mucosal folds in the proximal jejunum
Prominent
Transverse mucosal folds in the terminal ileum
Flat or Absent
Location of Peyer patches in the terminal ileum
Antimesenteric side
This comprise the lower 20% of the small bowel epithelium and represent its proliferative zone
Crypts of Lieberkuhn
A type of transmembrane glycoprotein involved in signaling and adhesion and has been found to stain the human lymph (lacteal) vessels of the bowel but not the lymph vessels of other organs
CD38
Characteristic feature of the ileum
Peyer patches
Lymph drainage of duodenum (2)
- Portal nodes
- Pyloric nodes
Lymph drainage of jejunum and proximal ileum (2)
- Nodes located in the mesentery
- Nodes located around the SMA
Lymph drainage of Terminal ileum
Ileocolic nodes
An abnormal thickening of the pylorus that causes small bowel obstruction in the neonatal population
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
The result of persistence of the proximal portion of the vitelline duct
Meckel diverticulum
Usual location of Meckel diverticulum in adults
approximately 80 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve
Characteristic location of Jejunal diverticula
along the Mesenteric border
a congenital anomaly resulting from an error in intestinal development such that (most commonly):
- Cecum is on the left
- Duodenal-jejunal flexure is on the right
- Mesentery is narrow and unstable in position
Malrotation
a congenital defect affecting collagen fibers throughout the body, may result in serious intestinal complication such as spontaneous perforation and massive bleeding
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Other name of Celiac disease (3):
- Celiac sprue
- Nontropical sprue
- Gluten-sensitive enteropathy
Characteristics of Celiac disease in its fully developed state (3):
- Totally flat mucosa
- a dramatic clinical and morphologic response to the removal of gluten from the diet
- Relapse when gluten is reintroduced
Macroscopic findings in Celiac disease (4):
- Scalloping or denting of the duodenal folds
- an absence or reduction in the number of folds
- a submucosal vascular pattern
- “Mosaicism”, in which the mucosa has a somewhat nodular appearance
Preferred serologic test for Celiac disease in patients above 2 years old
-anti-tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA antibody
More specific, but much more expensive and technically difficult to perform serologic test for Celiac disease
-anti-endomysial antibodies
May be useful in children who are less than 2 years of age or in adults who are IgA deficient serologic test for Celiac disease (2):
- Deamidated gliadin peptide (DPG) IgA and IgG
- anti-TTG IgG assay
Two types of Refractory Celiac Disease (RCD)
- Type I
- Type II
Type of RCD
-the lymphocytes maintain a normal immunophenotype
-Type I
Type of RCD
-there is clonal expansion of an aberrant population of T-cells that many believe represents an early form of enteropathy-associated lymphoma and have thus designated as “Cryptic intraepithelial lymphoma”
-Type II
Two types Enteropathy-associated T-cell Lymphoma (EATL):
- Type I or Classical
- Type II or Monomorphic Epitheliotropic
Type of EATL
-associated with Celiac disease
-Type I or Classical
Type of EATL
-Majority of cases
-Type I or Classical
Type of EATL
-NOT typically associated with CD or the CD-associated HLA haplotypes
-Type II or Monomorphic Epitheliotropic
Features in favor of Tropical Sprue (3):
- isolation of enterotoxigenic coliform bacilli
- the endemic nature of the disease
- well-known response to antibiotics
other name of Whipple disease
-intestinal lipodystrophy
Characteristic microscopic finding in Whipple disease
-infiltrate of histiocytes that fills the lamina propria and distorts the villi
An immune-mediated disease due to an abnormal response to gluten and related proteins in genetically susceptible people
Celiac disease (CD)
CD vs Tropical sprue
-Most prominent in the proximal small bowel with decreasing involvement distally
-Celiac disease (CD)
CD vs Tropical sprue
-BOTH the distal and proximal small bowel are involved
-Tropical sprue
