Lymphadenopathy in celiac disease: not always a sign of lymphoma.
A patient with celiac disease and mesenteric adenopathy discovered on computerized scanning of the abdomen is described. Lymphadenopathy resolved more than 6 months after the institution of a gluten-free diet. Adenopathy without evidence of lymphoma may be part of the clinical manifestations of patients with celiac disease. Follow-up with computerized tomography may be an option in patients with low clinical suspicion for lymphoma.
