[Immunoproliferative disease of the small intestine. Report of a case].
We report one case of immunoproliferative small intestinal disease with two rare characteristics. Firstly, the detection of monoclonal IgA-Kappa in serum and in the intestinal infiltrate and secondly, the advanced age of the patient at diagnosis. We checked up on Spanish literature and found an important number of patients that were diagnosed at such an age. We suggest that this disease may appear in elderly people in developed countries.
