[Polyradiculopathy revealing an enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma in a patient with celiac disease].
BACKGROUND
Celiac disease (CD) may be complicated by an enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), but lymphomatous dissemination outside the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon especially to the peripheral nervous sytem.


METHODS
We report a 54-year-old CD patient with EATL revealed by subacute polyradiculopathy.


CONCLUSIONS
Peripheral neuropathies associated with CD are generally not polyradiculopathies, but sensorimotor neuropathies. Peripheral neurological complications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are more frequent with B-lymphoma and a neurological presentation of EATL is very rare.


CONCLUSIONS
This case illustrates the usefulness of searching for EATL in CD patients with polyradiculopathy.
