Seven cases of ulceration of the small intestine are described and the relationship to coeliac disease is discussed. Evidence for coeliac disease is found in all cases but is less strong in some than in others, and coeliac disease was proved in only two cases. The ulcers were examined histologically in each case and in three cases were associated with malignant histiocytosis but the others show...

The gastrointestinal tract is the most common location for primary extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with cases less commonly found in the intestine. The majority of primary intestinal B-cell lymphomas are exophytic, whereas enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphomas present predominantly as thickened plaques, ulcers or strictures.
