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.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differences in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-reported jaw function between patients with hyperdivergent and normodivergent facial types. METHODS: Eighty patients with a distinctively hyperdivergent facial type (mandibular plane angle greater than 2 standard deviations, or 42°) and 80 controls were individually matched according to age, sex, ethnicity, and treatment stage. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires such as the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS-8). RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 17.2 ± 4.6 years (range, 12–9 years), with most (65.0%) being female and of New Zealand European origin (91.3%). Individuals with hyperdivergent facial types had higher overall and social domain scores on the OHIP-14 (p < 0.05) than did the ones with normodivergent facial types. However, the intergroup differences in JFLS-8 scores were not significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Jaw function appears to be similar in individuals with hyperdivergent and normodivergent facial morphologies. However, those with hyperdivergent facial types are more likely to self-report poorer OHRQoL than are those with normal faces, especially in relation to social aspects.
