  • Title: [Histopathological diagnosis of celiac disease in children and adults: 3 years' experience].
    Author: Villanacci V, Cornolti G, Lanzarotto F, Amato M, Pillan N, Ravelli A.
    Journal: Pathologica; 2002 Feb; 94(1):16-21. PubMed ID: 11912873.
    Abstract:
    We describe our personal experience with the routine histopathologic diagnosis of coeliac disease in pediatric and adult ages, over a period of 3 years. The most important indications based on the examination of over 300 cases include: (a) the importance of a correct orientation of biopsies on Millipore filters; (b) the not regular sending of clinical and laboratory results; (c) the better correspondence of modified Marsh classification by Oberhuber to the histologic characteristics of the disease before and after dieting; and (d) the increasing incidence of coeliac disease in adult age, even though in this case series the age-class most affected was that under 11 years (75 cases, 25%).
