Enteroendocrine cell dysgenesis was observed in 3 patients with intestinal failure of
unknown cause. Enteroendocrine cell dysgenesis is a congenitally acquired life-threatening
malabsorptive condition with a unique clinical phenotype paired with a histologically
identifiable disease pattern. Two cases were first presented at the Ninth International Small
Bowel Transplantation Symposium, Brussels 2005, and were subsequently published (N
Engl J Med 2006; 355: 270). We now present the histopathologic and immunohistochemical …
