  • Title: Enteritis cystica profunda.
    Author: Kyriakos M, Condon SC.
    Journal: Am J Clin Pathol; 1978 Jan; 69(1):77-85. PubMed ID: 619616.
    Abstract:
    In addition to hamartomatous polyps of the small intestine, a patient with Peutz-Jeghers disease had gross and microscopic lesions of the ileum that were analogous to colitis cystica profunda in the large intestine and rectum. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first such case in an adult to be reported. They suggest the designation, "enteritis cystica profunda." The histology of the lesions and their association with a disease known to produce hamartomatous lesions lend support to the proposition that some cases of colitis cystica are also hamartamatous. It is also believed that some reported cases of small-intestinal adenocarcinoma in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are in reality examples of the benign process of enteritis cystica profunda.
