title: Identification of new cases of severe enteropathy has recently increased the spectrum of intestinal non-celiac villous atrophy.
abstract: From olmesartan-induced enteropathy to small CD4(+) T-cell intestinal lymphoproliferation, the spectrum of non-celiac villous atrophy has recently been largely extended. Precise characterization of the different types of non-celiac enteropathy with villous atrophy is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis, to identify a causal mechanism and propound appropriate therapeutic strategies. This paper discusses how to use the different diagnostic tools to address diagnostic criteria, citing the examples of recent new cases of non-celiac enteropathy with intestinal villous atrophy.
