This article describes two cases of enteropathy with villous atrophy due to immune-checkpoint inhibitors, which may broaden the differential diagnosis of non-coeliac enteropathies and may represent a pathogenetic model for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in these enteropathies. A narrative review is also provided, summarizing the current evidence on the adverse events of immune-checkpoint inhibitors involving the small bowel.
