Abstract
Celiac sprue, also called nontropical sprue, is a malabsorption syndro me with symptoms that are triggered mainly by gluten ingestion. Non-Ho dgkin's lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract has been reported in pa tients with a long history of celiac sprue. This case report describes the occurrence of primary oral lymphoma in such a patient. This case is unusual because lymphomas associated with celiac sprue usually deve lop in the small intestine or in the stomach, and primary lymphoma in the mouth is itself uncommon.
