What it is
A rare T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by a neoplasm of intraepithelial T-cells mostly occurring in the jejunum or ileum in patients with celiac disease. The lesion may be multifocal and form ulcerating nodules, plaques, strictures, or an exophytic mass. The mesentery and mesenteric lymph nodes are commonly involved. Patients typically present with abdominal pain, malabsorption or diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes intestinal perforation or hemorrhage. Prognosis is generally poor.

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
