چکیده

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) was recently added to the growing list of infectious pathogen-associated human lymphomas. Molecular and immunohistochemical studies demonstrated an association with Campylobacter jejuni. IPSID is a variant of the B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), which involves mainly the proximal small intestine resulting in malabsorption, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Geographically, IPSID is most prevalent in the Middle East and Africa. IPSID lymphomas reveal excessive plasma cell differentiation and produce truncated alpha heavy chain proteins lacking the light chains as well as the first constant domain. The corresponding mRNA lacks the variable heavy chain (V(H)) and the constant heavy chain 1 (C(H)1) sequences and contains deletions as well as insertions of unknown origin. The encoding gene sequence reveals a deletion of V region and parts of C(H)1 domain. Cytogenetic studies demonstrated clonal rearrangements involving predominantly the heavy and light chain genes, including t(9;14) translocation involving the PAX5 gene. Early-stage IPSID responds to antibiotics (30%-70% complete remission). Most untreated IPSID patients progress to lymphoplasmacytic and immunoblastic lymphoma invading the intestinal wall and mesenteric lymph nodes, and may metastasize to a distant organ. IPSID lymphoma shares clinical, morphologic, and molecular features with MALT lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, and plasma cell neoplasms.

Immunoproliferative Small Intestine Disease (IPSID): A Case Report

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is the syndrome associated with Mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Many of the patients diagnosed with secretory IPSID have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. Most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...

Immunoproliferative Small Intestinal Disease and B-Cell MALT Lymphoma of the Digestive Tract

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (originally called Mediterranean lymphoma and subsequently alpha chain disease) is a slowly progressive low grade primary small intestinal B-cell lymphoma characterized by the synthesis of a truncated alpha heavy chain without light chain by the neoplastic cells. The histological features of IPSID and low grade primary gastric B-cell lymphoma are clo...
