- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Unexpected weight loss
- Skin lesion

- Night sweat
What causes Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma?
There aren't sufficient studies regarding causes of Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, in other words, it's not known causes for this disease.
Who is at highest risk?
- Enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma type I is more common among those diagnosed with celiac disease, however, type II can be seen in those without celiac disease[1]
- There is a male gender predilection.
Diagnosis
- It is recommended that patients coming with malabsorption symptoms such as diarrhea, unintentional weight loss, or painless swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, fever should be considered for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal lymphoma, extensive workup must be done such as complete blood count, imaging studies such as abdominal CT scan, final diagnosis needs endoscopy and biopsy of the specimen.
