CT scan of the chest with IV contrast showed bilateral pulmonary emboli, greater on the right, most prominently seen within the distal right main pulmonary artery and to a lesser degree on the left within segmental and subsegmental branches (Figure 1).

Biopsies were taken and histology showed partial villous atrophy (villous : crypt ratio 1 : 3) with crypt hyperplasia and a marked increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes (80 lymphocytes per 100 epithelial cells) consistent with celiac sprue, Marsh classification 3B (Figures 2 and 3).
