Celiac disease (CD), a gluten-induced enteropathy, is characterized by typical intestinal involvement with classical clinic features in childhood and less frequent features in adult patients. Recognizing pauci- and asymptomatic patients is a critical point in the clinical management of CD because of the high mortality associated with the onset of complications. Among these, malignant diseases are the most severe, particularly squamous cell carcinoma and lymphoma, the latter accounting for 50% of all malignancies occurring in CD patients. The authors describe a 57 years old patient with CD and Enteropathy-Associated-T-Cell Lymphoma, who had no intestinal symptoms but only severe pruritus and hypereosinophilia. |
