Abstract:
Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are commonly B-cell type, in contrast to the rare T-cell type, which has been noted as a complication of celiac disease that has not been reported in Korea so far. Primary T-cell lymphoma is commonly associated with enteropathy, and we report a case of small bowel T-cell lymphoma associated with enteropathy, with minimal mucosal lesion such as flattening of folds, which was difficult to differentiate with celiac disease clinically and pathologically.
