  • Title: [Celiac disease as a risk factor for digestive neoplasms].
    Author: Maurano A, Cirillo LC, Noviello A, Fabbrocini P, Valente T.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1987 Mar; 73(3):174-7. PubMed ID: 3562915.
    Abstract:
    Coeliac disease is a primary malabsorption syndrome, whose gastrointestinal symptomatology regresses following a gluten-free diet. Several authors report an increased incidence of intestinal lymphoma in patients with longstanding coeliac disease; on the other hand the association of this malabsorption syndrome with malignant tumors of the esophagus, stomach or large bowel is not very common. The authors describe three cases of coeliac disease complicated after 5, 12 and 18 years by neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach and small bowel. It is stressed that in this disease patients must be monitored with periodic radiologic examinations, in the hope of detecting any malignancy at an early and perhaps treatable stage.
