title: Endoscopic findings of enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma by double-balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy.
abstract: Enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma (ETL) is a rare primary intestinal disorder, particularly in Japan, and there have been few reports on the endoscopic findings of the disease. Here we report detailed endoscopic findings of ETL based on double-balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy. Double-balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy may be useful tools for diagnosing and monitoring the effects of therapy in patients with ETL.
