Crypt hyperplasia

MedGen UID:
482134
Concept ID:
C3280504
Finding
HPO: HP:0034588

Definition

Crypt hyperplasia denotes elongation of the length of the crypts of Lieberkuhn, a process that initially precedes villous atrophy. Elongation may be caused by expansion of the lamina propria as a result of the proliferation of stromal cells, an influx of inflammatory cells and tissue remodeling. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy
MedGen UID:
413031
Concept ID:
C2750737
Disease or Syndrome
Congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) is a rare inherited intractable diarrhea of infancy characterized by villous atrophy and absence of inflammation, with intestinal epithelial cell dysplasia manifesting as focal epithelial tufts in the duodenum and jejunum. CTE presents in the first few months of life with chronic watery diarrhea and failure to thrive, and most affected individuals require parenteral nutrition for normal growth and development (summary by Sivagnanam et al., 2008). Semiquantitative assessment of the epithelial surface in CTE patients revealed that 80 to 90% contained tufts, compared to only 16% in patients with celiac disease and less than 10% in normal jejunum (Reifen et al., 1994). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of diarrhea, see DIAR1 (214700).
