Objectives: Villous atrophy (VA) is not pathognomonic of celiac disease (CD). We aimed at reporting distribution, clinical, and immunohistochemical features of seronegative VA (SNVA) in a pediatric population.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data from patients who underwent intestinal biopsies between 2010 and 2017 and showed VA without serum CD-associated autoantibodies.
