The histological features of the celiac disease include all of the following Except -
Crypt hyperplasia
Increase in thickness of the mucosa
Increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes
Increase in inflammatory cells in lamina propria
Pathological features

In celiac disease, the proximal intestine is commonly involved while in tropical sprue whole of the intestine is involved.
Biopsy of the intestine in celiac sprue demonstrates.

- Villous atrophy, loss of microvilli brush border
- The crypts are hyperplastic and become elongated.
- Presence of following cells on lamina propria → Plasma cells, Lymphocytes, Macrophages, Eosinophils, Mast cells
- Remember that overall mucosal thickness remains same in celiac sprue

Celiac disease is associated with dermatitis herpetiformis.
Individuals with celiac disease have a higher incidence of malignancy → enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (most common), small intestine adenocarcinoma.
