Abstract:
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is an unusual primary gastrointestinal lymphoma, and it is particularly associated with celiac sprue. These patients typically suffer from abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or weight loss. Primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma without celiac sprue is known to be rare. We report here on a case of EATL that presented with persistent abdominal pain and diarrhea, but this patient was without celiac sprue.
