ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of refractory celiac disease (CD) is based on exclusion of other disorders, persistence of malabsorptive symptoms and villous atrophy, despite a strict gluten-free diet for at least 6-12 months. Detection of alterations in the intraepithelial lymphocyte population is crucial for diagnosis. A subgroup of patients with refractory CD may develop severe complications such as enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma (EATL). We present the case of a patient with longstanding silent CD who developed EALT, highlighting the challenge posed by the diagnosis and treatment of this entity.
