Celiac sprue complicated by lymphoma presenting with multiple gastric ulcers
Abstract:
A 40-yr-old woman with celiac sprue, which had responded clinically and histologically to gluten elimination, subsequently developed gastrointestinal lymphoma. Although this has been described in the small intestine of patients with celiac sprue, the unique feature in this patient was her initial presentation with multiple gastric ulcers refractory to conventional medical therapy. This case demonstrates that lymphoma complicating celiac sprue may present with multiple refractory gastric ulcers in addition to those occurring in the small intestine.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
