[Adenocarcinoma of the small intestines complicating coeliac disease in an adult: case report].
Coeliac disease is an auto-immune disease due to gluten intolerance. One per cent of the European population is concerned. This small bowel adenocarcinoma is rare and concerns less than 5% of the digestive neoplasias. However the frequency of this rare cancer is higher in presence of coeliac disease. We are reporting the case of a 67-years-old woman whose coeliac disease has been complicated 5 years thereafter by a jejunal adenocarcinoma. The latter was found during an etiology search for iron deficiency anemia.
