The occurrence of exudative enteropathy in children with the nephrotic syndrome was first reported by Nussle et al. in 1961, but no intestinal pathology has previously been described in nephrotic children, whether with or without protein-losing enteropathy. The finding in small bowel biopsy specimens of intestinal lymphangiectasia, in 4 of 7 cases of nephrotic syndrome, suggests that this assoc...

langerhans cell histiocytosis is a relatively rare unique disease process characterized by an abnormal proliferation of immature dendritic cells usually affecting children and young adults. jaws are involved in less than 10% of children with the disease while mandibular involvement in young children is uncommon and bilateral affection is very rare. the purpose of this report is to describe a un...

the reversed halo sign (rhs) may sometimes be seen in patients with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (cop), but is rarely associated with other diseases. herein, we present a case of a 21-year-old woman with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, with high resolution computed tomography (hrct) finding of rhs. this is an unusual and rare presentation of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare entity that presents in a manner comparable to acute cholecystitis. The diagnosis is based on classical symptoms of cholecystitis with the presence of eosinophils (>90%) within the gallbladder. EC has been reported alone (idiopathic EC) or in combination with manifestations such as eosinophilic cholangitis, hypereosinophilic syndromes, and parasitic inf...

Dermatitis Herpetiformis is a chronic autoimmune blistering skin condition that often associated with gluten-sensitive enteropathy. The primary lesion of DH an erythematous papule, plaque, or, most commonly, vesicle can be pruritic.

protein losing enteropathy (ple) as an initial finding of lymphoma, is extremely rare in childhood. we describe clinical and pathological features of an unusual case of gastrointestinal lymphoma presented with ple as a sole manifestation. differential diagnosis in children presenting with ple is critical because early diagnosis and treatment are important for survival in patients with lymphoma.

a 62-year-old woman complaining of severe malabsorption was diagnosed with celiac disease based on the findings of flat, small intestinal mucosa and hla-dq2 positivity, although celiac serology was negative. this diagnosis was questioned due to the lack of clinical and histological improvement after a long period of strict gluten-free diet. the detection of enterocyte autoantibodies guided to t...

Features that might distinguish uncomplicated coeliac disease from enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma were investigated. Of 76 patients with coeliac disease, 71 (93%) had raised levels of alpha gliadin antibody and all responded clinically and histologically to treatment with a gluten free diet. In contrast, none of 16 patients with enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma had raised levels o...
