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.
