Abstract

In an adult patient with untreated celiac sprue, mesenteric lymphadenopathy was detected by computerized tomography (CT). Although malignant lymphoma was suspected, the nodes disappeared after treatment with a gluten-free diet, as was documented by CT follow-up. This report demonstrates that mesenteric lymphadenopathy in celiac sprue might be benign. With the increased use of CT investigation, findings like these may be encountered more often
