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.
