Abstract:
Phlebosclerotic colitis presents with ischemic bowels and calcification of the mesenteric veins. Owing to its rarity, we have little information on the complications of this disease. Herein, we report on a 77-year-old woman with phlebosclerotic colitis and interstitial lung disease. She was diagnosed as having phlebosclerotic colitis by CT and colonoscopy. At the same time, chest CT also showed interstitial lung disease. After 4 years, she experienced exacerbation of interstitial lung disease. She recovered without treatment. The occurrence of interstitial lung disease may have been associated with her phlebosclerotic colitis.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
