Abstract

Two cases of nonmalignant immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) presenting with severe malabsorption are described. The first patient had a lymphocytic infiltrate of the lamina propria and lymphoid hyperplasia of the mesenteric lymph nodes and responded to oral tetracycline. The second patient had a polyclonal plasmacytic infiltration of the lamina propria and of the mesenteric nodes and responded only to cytotoxic treatment with cyclophosphamide. These cases represent examples of non-α-chain disease benign IPSID.
