Pseudomelanosis duodeni is benign change of the duodenum that mimics melanin deposition.
It is also described in stomach and jejunum.[1]
General
- Rare.
- Consists of iron and lipofuscin.[2]
Associations:[3]
- Hypertension ~90% of cases.
- Iron supplementation ~75% of cases.
- End-stage renal disease ~60% of cases.
Note:
- The associations are different than for melanosis coli.
Gross/endoscopic
- Dark spots ~35% of cases.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Dark pigment in the lamina propria macrophages.
Images:
Stains
- Prussian blue +ve ~80% of cases.[3]

A. Stomach, Partial Excision as Part of a Sleeve Gastrectomy: - Stomach wall within normal limits. B. Small Bowel Wall, Partial Excision as Part of a Sleeve Gastrectomy: - Small bowel wall with iron containing macrophages in the mucosa, known as "pseudomelanosis", see comment. - NEGATIVE for active inflammation. - NEGATIVE for dysplasia and NEGATIVE for malignancy. Comment: Pseudomelanosis may be seen in the context of iron supplementation, hypertension and chronic renal failure. The macrophages are positive with an iron stain.
