Abstract
|
|
|
Collagenous colitis was first described by Lindstrom(1976). This disorder is now a recognized disease of colon associated with chronic watery diarrhea which shows the typical histologic findings of a thickened subepithelial collagenous band. A
few
cases
with such disease has been reported in this country.
We have recently observed a 52-year-old businessman with chronic watery diarrhea without abdominal pain and intermittent mucobloody stool for several years. He has lost about 4kg of his body weight for these 6 months' period. Physical
examination,
laboratory and radiological studies were unremarkable. Colonoscopy disclosed no gross abnormalities through the entire colon including the terminal ileum but found the pronounced thickening(about 10㎛) of intercryptal subepithelial collagen and
chronic
inflammation in the lamina propria in the histologic examination.
