Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune mediated enteropathy induced by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. In cases of long term evolution and poor adherence to gluten-free diet (GFD), the outcome of CD may be the development of malignant diseases mainly lymphomas that can be responsible of a higher mortality rate. In some rare cases, the diagnosis of CD is made upon the discovery of the lymphoma. The main histological type is the enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma but can also be a B-cell kind. We report here the case of 02 patients with lymphomas revealing a CD.
