Lymphocytic proctitis. H&E stain.
Intraepithelial lymphocytes, abbreviated IELs, is the presence of lymphocytes between (benign) epithelial cells. IELs are seen in a number of contexts.
The epithelial cells in the context of IEL are presumed to be benign. Lymphocytes infiltrating between malignant (epithelial) cells is dealt with in the tumour infiltrating lymphocytes article.
Small bowel
- Celiac disease - classic cause.
- Giardia.
- Helicobacter gastritis.
- Crohn's disease.[citation needed]
- Morbid obesity.[1]
Large Bowel
- Lymphocytic colitis.[2]
- Collagenous colitis.[2]
- Celiac disease.[3]
- Crohn's disease.[4]
- Drug-induced colitis.[citation needed]
