Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Celiac disease (CD) patients have a 2-fold increased risk of malignancy.
  • Small intestinal lymphomas, predominantly T-cell lymphomas, account for 50% of CD-associated malignancies.
  • Enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is the most serious complication of celiac sprue.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old woman was diagnosed with celiac sprue and improved on a gluten-free diet.
  • Fifteen years later, she presented with fever and abdominal pain.
  • Laparotomy revealed a perforated jejunal tumor.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with celiac disease-associated T-cell lymphoma of the jejunum.
  • This case illustrates a rare but serious long-term complication of celiac disease.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of long-term surveillance for gastrointestinal malignancies in celiac disease patients.
  • Underscores the need for awareness among clinicians regarding EATL as a potential complication.
  • Suggests further research into the pathogenesis and early detection of EATL in celiac patients.
