BACKGROUND

Microvillous inclusion disease (MVID) is a rare congenital disease producing intractable secretory diarrhea in early infancy. It is characterized by diffuse intestinal villous atrophy with no inflammatory reaction. Ultrastructural identification of apical microvillous inclusions in the surface enterocytes is diagnostic. However, there is difficulty in the diagnosis of MVID due to the existence of variants (e.g., microvillous dystrophy), possible disease resolution, and tissue orientation for electron microscopy (EM). The authors analyzed materials from 4 patients with MVID from a single institution. The morphologic features, distribution of lesions, biomarkers, and complementary ultrastructural characteristics were studied.

METHODS

Materials of MVID cases were collected from 6 different hospitals in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 2008. Epidemiological data, including age range, median, mode, sex ratios, and follow-up, were retrieved. All intestinal biopsy specimens were analyzed histologically, histochemically (for PAS, n = 17), immunohistochemically (for CD10, n = 2 and polyclonal CEA, n = 4), and ultrastructurally (n = 9).

RESULTS

Ultrastructurally, apical microvillous inclusions in surface enterocytes in duodenal biopsies were identified in all cases, while 1 case had variant morphology (microvillous dystrophy and very occasionally atypical microvillous inclusions). Tissue orientation for EM was supportive for identification of inclusions in apical enterocytes. Morphologically, a bubbly vacuolated appearance of the apical cytoplasm with extensive or patchy absence of the brush border with occasional cytoplasm inclusions was observed in the enterocytes. Some of these changes vaguely resembled gastric mucin cell metaplasia. Architecturally, villous blunting with either crypt hypoplasia or hyperplasia and absence of inflammation were common findings. The epithelial changes were also found in colon biopsies. PAS, CD10, and p-CEA showed a bright apical cytoplasmic blush/staining, which correlated ultrastructurally with apical granules with inclusions of variable electron density in all cases. These stains also highlighted the targetoid inclusions.

CONCLUSIONS

Besides electron microscopy identification of inclusions, the light microscopic morphological features together with the biomarker studies highlighting the apical cytoplasmic blush are quite unique and diagnostic of MVID. Furthermore, it is the opinion of the authors that a diagnosis of MVID can be made without electron microscopy.
