SMALL BOWEL, BIOPSY: | |||
- SMALL BOWEL MUCOSA WITH MILDLY INCREASED INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES | |||
(~30 LYMPHOCYTES/100 ENTEROCYTES) WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES OF THE | |||
VILLOUS ARCHITECTURE. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR ACTIVE INFLAMMATION. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in celiac disease is typically higher than | |||
40 per 100 enterocytes. A mild increase of IELs is a nonspecific finding. Serology for | |||
celiac disease could be considered, if not done. Clinical correlation is suggested. | |||
