Biopsy Shows Chronic Illetis. What Does It Mean?
My biopsy report says: Nature of Specimen : Ileal Biopsy Clinical Details : Ulcersm Erythema in Terminal Ileum Microscopic examination : sections show fragments of ileal mucosa with areas of erosion. some of the fragments shows lymphoid follicles and reactive hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue. The mucosal lamina propria shows mild to moderate infiltration with lymphocytes. plasma cells and few eosinophils. There are 15-20 eosinophils per high power field. Epithelioid granuloma not seen. Impression: Chronic Iletis What does this report means? is it some thing dangerous ?

thank you.
you not mention your symptoms or complaints.
are you suffering from chronic abd. pain,altered bowel habit,gradual weight loss ?
inflammation of the ileum is called ileitis which is the lower part of the small intestine.
the biopsy abnormality may be due to crohn's disease or non specific ulcer.
no granuloma is found,so TB is excluded.
consult a gastroenterologist.
