Fig. 1 —39-year-old woman with celiac disease. Photograph of
histologic specimen obtained during duodenal biopsy reveals Marsh type 1
lesions consisting of numerous intraepithelial lymphocytes (infiltrative
inflammatory lesions) (arrowheads) in absence of atrophic lesions. V
= villi of normal size and absence of atrophy, C = crypts, which are free of
hyperplasia. (H and E, x100)

Fig. 2 —42-year-old woman with celiac disease. Photograph of
histologic specimen obtained during duodenal biopsy shows Marsh type 2
lesions, which are cryptic and hyperplastic (arrows) and have
increased number of mitoses (arrowheads) (up to three per crypt). (H
and E, x100)

Fig. 3 —53-year-old man with celiac disease. Photograph of histologic
specimen obtained during duodenal biopsy shows Marsh type 3C lesions, which
are characterized by total absence of villi (total villous atrophy), and
numerous intraepithelial lymphocytes that have hyperplastic granular
components (arrows) and distorted profile. (H and E, x100)

Fig. 4A —47-year-old man with unknown celiac disease. Coronal CT
reformation of MDCT enteroclysis scan shows reversed jejunoileal fold pattern
consisting of rarity of jejunal folds (arrows) associated with
greater number of ileal folds (arrowheads). Appearance suggests
celiac disease.

Fig. 6 —57-year-old man with celiac disease. Push enteroscopic image
shows nodular pattern (arrowheads) of jejunal mucosa consistent with
celiac disease. Diagnosis was confirmed at histopathologic analysis of biopsy
specimen.

Fig. 7 —37-year-old woman with celiac disease. Wireless capsule
endoscopic image shows atrophic jejunal mucosa (arrowheads), which
suggests presence of celiac disease. Diagnosis was confirmed at
histopathologic analysis.

Fig. 8 —70-year-old man with transient small-bowel intussusception in
association with celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan shows target
sign (arrowheads) corresponding to transient small-bowel
intussusception. No tumor is present.

Fig. 9A —82-year-old woman with ileal lymphoma-associated celiac
disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan shows target sign (arrows)
corresponding to small-bowel intussusception secondary to lymphoma
(arrowhead). Tumor was located in ileum.

Fig. 9B —82-year-old woman with ileal lymphoma-associated celiac
disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan at lower level than A shows
typical bowel-within-bowel feature (arrows) and intussusception
longer than 3 cm.

Fig. 10A —48-year-old man with ulcerative jejunoileitis associated with
refractory celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan depicts
circumferential thickening (arrows) of ileal wall that exhibits
stratification with bilaminar appearance. Hyperenhancing internal layer is
present in association with soft-tissue-attenuation external layer. There is
no evidence of malignancy. (Reprinted with permission from Boudiaf M, Jaff A,

Fig. 10D —48-year-old man with ulcerative jejunoileitis associated with
refractory celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan obtained after partial
resection of ileum shows findings (arrowheads) similar to those
observed preoperatively (i.e., stratification with bilaminar appearance) and
that are highly suggestive of recurrence at site of anastomosis. Diagnosis of
recurrence was confirmed histologically.

Fig. 11A —77-year-old woman with jejunal T-cell lymphoma associated
with refractory celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan shows proximal
jejunal mass (arrowheads) with pseudoaneurysmal pattern suggesting
malignant tumor.

margins.

Fig. 12 —40-year-old man with enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
associated with celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan obtained without
small-bowel distention shows multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes
(arrowheads), which correspond to T-cell lymphomatous involvement.
Histopathologic analysis after small-bowel biopsy showed total villous atrophy
and major intraepithelial infiltration by aberrant (CD3 positive, CD8
negative) clonal intraepithelial proliferation of T cells.

Fig. 13A —55-year-old woman with jejunal adenocarcinoma associated with
celiac disease. Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan shows large jejunal mass
(arrowheads) displaying aneurysmal pattern suggestive of malignant
small-bowel tumor. Tip of nasojejunal tube (arrow) is evident.

Fig. 14A —37-year-old man with cavitating mesenteric lymphadenopathy
syndrome and splenic atrophy associated with celiac disease. Cavitating
lymphadenopathy is most often mesenteric, but other locations are possible.
Axial MDCT enteroclysis scan shows mesenteric lymph node with markedly
hypoattenuating center (arrowhead).

association with peripheral rim (arrowheads). (H and E,

Fig. 15 —33-year-old woman with celiac disease. Axial MDCT scan
obtained without small-bowel distention shows gas (arrowheads) in
bowel wall that resolved spontaneously. Patient was treated conservatively in
absence of clinical symptoms.
