Abstract
The association of celiac disease (CD) with cancers of gastrointestinal origin has been noted. However, coincidence of CD with nongastrointestinal neoplasms is an unusual event. Here we present five children with concurrent CD and nongastrointestinal neoplasms. All of the patients had positive serologic results for anti-tTG antibodies. Histological investigation of intestinal mucosa showed inflammation (Marsh score = 2) in all the patients. Two of these patients represented with germ cell malignancies. One patient had Wilms' tumor. To our knowledge, these are the first reports of coincidence of these two cancers with CD in children. From the remaining two patients, one was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and the other with astrocytoma. The diagnosis of malignancy preceded CD diagnosis in all the patients (mean ages of cancer and CD diagnosis of 1.8 and 5.4years old, respectively). Whether malignancy can promote immune deregulation and predispose to CD is uncertain. On the other hand, undiagnosed celiac may be a risk factor for cancer. Our results suggest a potential association of CD with malignancy nature of CD, however, occurrence of CD may be influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. There are few reports noting CD as a paraneoplastic condition. Further investigations are necessitated to stablish such relationship.
