tufting enteropathy

tufting enteropathy
a rare intestinal disorder, thought to be hereditary and autosomal recessive; infants have severe watery diarrhea with malabsorption of nutrients and will die unless put on total parenteral nutrition. Small tufts of enterocytes are visible in microscopic specimens, and the malabsorption is thought to be caused by abnormal interactions between the enterocytes and the mesenchymal cells.
