Collagenous Colitis: Histologic Progression, Extraintestinal Features and Lack of Response to 5-ASA - A Case Report
Collagenous colitis is a clinicopathologic syndrome which presents as chronic, watery, nonbloody diarrhea. Colonic biopsies characteristically show a thick subepithelial collagen band. Barium enema and colonoscopy generally fail to establish the diagnosis. This case report provides evidence for hist...

| description | Collagenous colitis is a clinicopathologic syndrome which presents
as chronic, watery, nonbloody diarrhea. Colonic biopsies characteristically
show a thick subepithelial collagen band. Barium enema and colonoscopy
generally fail to establish the diagnosis. This case report provides evidence for
histologic progression over time, pancolonic involvement and the presence of
extraintestinal features of collagenous colitis. The reported patient showed no
response to 5-aminosalicylic acid. Colonoscopic biopsies in cases of chronic
diarrhea can save the patient repeated, uncomfortable and costly investigations. |
