Abstract
We report a case of a 35 year-old-woman who suffered from abdominal pain an
d weight loss. Asymptomatic celiac disease was discovered and complicated w
ith a MALT Lymphoma in the jejunum. This is an uncommon combination because
lymphoma that arises in the presence of enteropathy is commonly from T Lym
phocytes. Also because it normally appears in patients with long standing c
eliac disease who report a recrudescence of the abdominal symptoms.
