La enteropatía proliferativa porcina recibe su nombre porque causa lesiones proliferativas en la mucosa intestinal, como se explica en el capítulo correspondiente a la patogenia. Las lesiones se observan principalmente al final del íleon, desde unos 50 cm en dirección craneal desde la válvula ileocecal, pero también afectan en muchos casos al tercio craneal del colon. Estas lesiones pueden ser muy extensas, pero en algunos casos están muy poco extendidas.
