Intestinal lymphoma and sprue: a systematic approach.
Intestinal lymphoma is frequently associated with sprue-like bowel patterns. A standardized approach to the problem is suggested.Intestinal lymphoma has been subdivided into four groups, depending on the extent of involvement of the anatomical region. Only cases with specific lesions are accepted as primary lymphoma. The villous pattern in 179 cases at necropsy with suitably preserved mucosa wa...
متن کاملSprue-like Intestinal Disease
Recurrent symptoms in well-established celiac disease may result in further clinical evaluation. In most, poor diet compliance is present. Other considerations include an unidentified gluten source, an erroneous initial diagnosis, another or second and superimposed cause for symptoms, or a complication, including collagenous sprue or an intestinal lymphoma. Failure to define an initial gluten-f...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic intestinal bacteria in tropical sprue.
The factors responsible for colonization of the small intestine by enterotoxigenic coliform bacteria in Puerto Ricans with tropical sprue are unknown, but epidemiological observations have suggested that they may be related to an increased dietary intake of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which is known to exert an inhibitory effect on the growth ofgrampositive o...
متن کاملDrug-induced Sprue-like Intestinal Disease
Celiac disease is a gluten-dependent small intestinal disorder with characteristic, but non-specific histopathological features. A number of disorders may cause similar changes in small intestinal biopsies, but fail to respond to a gluten-free diet. Traditionally, infectious agents, such as giardiasis, were often believed to be responsible, but in many patients with a sprue-like intestinal diso...
متن کاملFrequency of clonal intraepithelial T lymphocyte proliferations in enteropathy-type intestinal T cell lymphoma, coeliac disease, and refractory sprue.
BACKGROUND Clonal T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements and loss of T cell antigens such as CD8 and TCR-beta in intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) may indicate the development of an enteropathy-type intestinal T cell lymphoma (EITCL) in patients with refractory sprue. AIMS To define the diagnostic value of these markers in duodenal biopsies from patients with villous atrophy as a result o...
