Adult celiac disease, small and medium vessel cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis, and T cell lymphoma.
Cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium-sized vessels developed in a patient with adult celiac disease who later was found to have visceral lymphoma with erythrophagocytosis. Immunologic and genetic probe studies showed the lymphoma to be of T cell differentiation. Celiac disease and T cell lymphoma have been associated previously with the development of cutaneous vasculitis.
