[Deficiency polyneuropathy secondary to immunoproliferative disease of the small intestine]

We report a new case of immunoproliferative small intestinal disease with neurological involvement expressed as deficiency polyneuropathy. In spite of non identifiable plasmatic paraprotein, the use of immunohistochemical techniques showed the characteristic proliferation in the intestinal mucosa of plasma cells with a prevalence of IgA cells, which define this disease.
