Histopathology of eosinophilic esophagitis, showing multiple intraepithelial eosinophils (bilobed cells with reddish cytoplasm on H&E stain), and edema seen as white clearings. Endoscopic mucosal biopsy remains the gold standard diagnostic test for EoE and is required to confirm the diagnosis. [8]
Eosinopenia is a condition where the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in circulating blood is lower than normal. [1] Eosinophils are a type of granulocyte and consequently from the same cellular lineage as neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells.
These changes are very similar to those found in eosinophilic esophagitis, a more common and better understood esophageal disorder thought to be of allergic origin. [5] Narrow-band imaging with magnification endoscopy is another imaging modality that can show characteristic changes of lymphocytic esophagitis.
Eosinophils are also involved in many other biological processes, including postpubertal mammary gland development, oestrus cycling, allograft rejection and neoplasia. [21] They have also been implicated in antigen presentation to T cells. [22] Eosinophils are responsible for tissue damage and inflammation in many diseases, including asthma.
Duodenal lymphocytosis, sometimes called lymphocytic duodenitis, lymphocytic duodenosis, or duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytosis, is a condition where an increased number of intra-epithelial lymphocytes is seen in biopsies of the duodenal mucosa when these are examined microscopically.
Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, grade III (C51._) ... Eosinophil adenoma; M8280/3 Acidophil carcinoma ... M9876/3 Atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia BCR/ABL negative
Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 5 × 10 8 /L (500/μL). [1] Hypereosinophilia is an elevation in an individual's circulating blood eosinophil count above 1.5 × 10 9 /L (i.e. 1,500/μL).
[8] [10] However, the only definitive test for Loeffler endocarditis is cardiac muscle biopsy showing the presence of eosinophilic infiltrates. Since the disorder may be patchy, multiple tissue samples taken during the procedure improve the chances of uncovering the pathology but in any case, negative results do not exclude the diagnosis.
