It is also known as enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma, abbreviated ETTL.

General

  • T cell lymphoma due to celiac sprue.
  • Subdivided into type I and type II.[1]

Gross

Features:[2]

  • Typically manifest as ulcers, fissures or plaques. †

Notes:

  • † B-cell lymphomas are typically raised nodules.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Abundant large or medium-sized lymphoid cells in the mucosa and submucosa.
    • Large-sized cells ~ 2x RBC diameter = type 1.
    • Medium sized cells ~ 1.5x RBC diameter = type 2.
  • Intestinal epithelium usually preserved.

DDx:

  • Other types of lymphoma, e.g. DLBCL.
