Abstract
This case report describes a 52-year-old man who had undiagnosed and poorly managed celiac disease, and presented with acute peritonitis. Further examination revealed a rare complication of celiac disease, which was a T-cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract. Imaging is important in confirming the diagnosis and chemotherapy is the main treatment option.
