Abstract Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a specific serological and histological profile. Hematological findings are one of the most common presentations and can sometimes be the only manifestation of the disease. In patients with unexplained isolated hematological abnormalities, a high index of suspicion for CD is necessary. A 33‐year‐old woman was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology because of abdominal pain and fatigue. She was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. After many investigations, it is explained that she has CD. It is important to consider myelodysplastic syndrome as a hematological manifestation of CD. All patients with myelodysplasia should be investigated for CD and related conditions such as primary sclerosing cholangitis.
