Introduction:
Celiac disease (CD) may be complicated by an enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), but lymphomatous dissemination outside the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon especially to the peripheral nervous sytem.
Observation:
We report a 54-year-old CD patient with EATL revealed by subacute polyradiculopathy.
Discussion:
Peripheral neuropathies associated with CD are generally not polyradiculopathies, but sensorimotor neuropathies. Peripheral neurological complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are more frequent with B-lymphoma and a neurological presentation of EATL is very rare.
Conclusion:
This case illustrates the usefulness of searching for EATL in CD patients with polyradiculopathy.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
