The symptoms of lymphoma for those with lymphadenopathy are usually
non-existent and/or very different from the celiac condition.  How do they
"mask" the symptoms of celiac?  What type of lymphoma is celiac connected
to - I thought it was MALT or related types?  But the article seems to say
otherwise....

The article also states:

Enlargement of lymph nodes does not sound like primary intestinal lymphoma.
