Resumen: | Pyloric type metaplasia (PYME) as evidence of chronic mucosal damage, is one of the main histopathological findings for diagnosing Crohn’s Disease (CD) in terminal ileum biopsies, according to the latest guidelines but still frequently underdiagnosed in routine pathology. Foveolar metaplasia (FOME) changes in mucosa, another aspect of the chronic post - inflammatory Ulcer Associated Cell Lineage (UACL), have only been reported in a few cases. However, their clinical significance has not been investigated in depth except in pouchitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of meticulous study of terminal ileum biopsies for the recognition of PYME/FOME as an adjunct finding helpful for the diagnosis of CD. In the present study, two experienced gastrointestinal pathologists, have reviewed 105 terminal ileum biopsies from 105 patients with CD, using a protocol of 15 sections on average per biopsy. In 21% (22/105) of cases PYME was recognized and in 4% (4/105) FOME was also present. PYME/FOME had not been detected in 83% of these cases in the original reports. FOME was also identified in terminal ileum biopsies, a feature not reported previously in CD. Conclusively, PYME/FOME can be easily missed in terminal ileum biopsies from patients with suspected or known CD unless a meticulous study of the histologic material is carried out combined with awareness of the pathologist about its importance. |
