Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a rare but serious complication of celiac disease. Diagnosis is challenging. Patients can present with weight loss, abdominal pain, and diarrhea or acutely with bowel perforation or obstruction. Patients often present with advanced disease. Malnutrition further limits treatment options. Early diagnosis is important to start aggressive treatment strategies. However, even with prompt diagnosis, prognosis remains poor with a high mortality rate. We report the first documented case of sole tonsillar involvement, a rare extraintestinal and extranodal site of disease, leading to EATL diagnosis. We also highlight some of the challenges in diagnosing EATL.

Background And Aims: Refractory celiac disease type II (RCDII) is characterized by a clonally expanded aberrant cell population in the small intestine. The role of other tissue-resident immune subsets in RCDII is unknown. Here, we characterized CD8 and CD4 T cells in RCDII duodenum at the single-cell level and .

Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without etoposide consolidated by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are recommended for fit PTCL patients. The role of etoposide and ASCT in EATL is unclear.

To determine whether there is an active coeliac disease or the presence of additional pathologies, patients must undergo regular evaluations, including repeat endoscopy. In this analysis, we present a case study of a 75-year-old woman from England who was diagnosed with coeliac disease later in life.

Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), previously referred to as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) type II, is a rare type of intestinal extranodal T-cell lymphoma that arises from intraepithelial T-lymphocytes of the intestinal mucosa. Here, we report a case of MEITL with an unusual localization in the ileocecal region complicated by an adjacent abscess and perforation of colon ascendens in a 65-year-old male. The patient was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain.
