Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma-monomorphic variant, presenting as bilateral ovarian masses

Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2014 Apr-Jun;57(2):326-8. doi: 10.4103/0377-4929.134733.

Abstract

Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL) is a rare type of T-cell lymphoma, often associated with a history of celiac disease. It usually arises in the jejunum, but can involve other gastrointestinal tract sites such as stomach and colon. Monomorphic variant of EATL often occurs without a history of celiac disease, has variable histologic evidence of enteropathy, and is usually CD56 +. We report a case of EATL in a 49-year-old female presenting as bilateral ovarian masses. The morphology and immunophenotypic features were compatible with monomorphic variant of EATL.
