Overview
Enteropathy-associated T-cell Lymphoma (EATL), also enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma (ETTL), is a type of T-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma that affects the small intestine, it is composed of large lymphoid cells. Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma has two subtypes, type I enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma which has a strong association with celiac disease and it is more common in western countries and type II enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma which is mostly found among the Asian population. There are no established causes for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. EATL must be differentiated from other diseases such as peptic ulcer, poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, MALT lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.
Causes
- There are no established causes for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma.
Differentiating Enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma from Other Diseases
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as:[1][2]
- Peptic ulcer
- Poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma
- MALT lymphoma
- Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
- Mantle cell lymphoma
