We present a case of a 33 year old male with a history of early childhood diarrhoea and more recently diagnosed gluten sensitive
enteropathy
, who died with active disease, ulcerative proctosigmoiditis and desquamative
erythrodermia

This is considered to be malignant histiocytosis of the intestine (MIH). Immunohistological examination of the diagnostic jejunal biopsy showed a pathological binding pattern for peanut lectin (PNL) within the enterocytes. This may be an expression of disturbed production or secretion of a product rich in non-reducing terminal D-galactosyl residues.
