  • Title: Characteristic endoscopic features of intestinal lymphangiectasia: correlation with histological findings.
    Author: Aoyagi K, Iida M, Yao T, Matsui T, Okada M, Oh K, Fujishima M.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1997; 44(13):133-8. PubMed ID: 9058131.
    Abstract:
    Six patients with histologically proven intestinal lymphangiectasia were evaluated for the endoscopic features. White villi and/or spots, previously reported as endoscopic findings, were seen. Furthermore, white nodules and submucosal elevations with or without white mucosa were observed. All patients demonstrated the appearance of submucosal elevations. The four characteristic endoscopic features were correlated with histological findings. It is considered that these endoscopic features are of value for the diagnosis of intestinal lymphangiectasia in patients with protein-losing enteropathy.
