Abstract

Introduction

Gluten enteropathy (celiac disease) is a chronic disease and presents as diarrhea, weight loss and anemia.

Case presentation

A 35-year-old Caucasian man with gluten enteropathy, familial multiple lipomas and seborrheic keratosis was seen in our clinic. After confirmation of the diagnosis, he was advised to follow a gluten-free diet. His clinical improvement was evaluated and confirmed with biopsy.

Conclusion

Celiac disease is known to be associated with many systemic diseases and skin lesions but its association with familial multiple lipomas has not yet been reported.
