title: [Association of severe intestinal villous atrophy and abdominal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: Malignant lymphoma is a recognized late complication of adult celiac disease. In children, however, the association of lymphoma with celiac disease was so far identified only in one case of an Algerian girl in 1981. We have observed during the last 5 years 78 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 56% located in the abdomen. In three of these cases, the association of intestinal epithelial atrophy and non-Hodgkin abdominal lymphoma was observed and is reported in this paper.
