title="Dermatological Manifestations of Celiac Disease: a Literature Review",
abstract="    Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated  disorder affecting genetically predisposed individuals and triggered  by dietary gluten. Although classically associated with  gastrointestinal manifestations, many patients present with  extraintestinal symptoms, which may delay diagnosis. The skin  represents one of the most common areas of extraintestinal  involvement. Dermatitis herpetiformis is the best-recognized  dermatological presentation of celiac disease; however, other  conditions such as psoriasis, alopecia areata, urticaria, and atopic  dermatitis have also been reported. These cutaneous manifestations  may precede gastrointestinal symptoms or occur in their absence,  highlighting the need for diagnostic awareness. The pathogenesis  involves immune dysregulation, deposition of IgA in the skin, and  shared inflammatory pathways. Evidence indicates that a gluten-free  diet improves not only intestinal pathology but also skin  manifestations. Therefore, screening for celiac disease should be  considered in patients presenting with unexplained or  treatment-resistant dermatoses. Early diagnosis and dietary  intervention may reduce complications and improve long-term outcomes,  underscoring the importance of recognizing cutaneous signs as  potential markers of celiac disease.
