Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic watery diarrhea presents a diagnostic challenge.
  • Collagenous colitis is an underrecognized cause of persistent diarrhea.

Observation:

  • A middle-aged female presented with chronic, watery diarrhea.
  • Extensive prior evaluations failed to establish a diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with collagenous colitis.
  • Histological examination revealed characteristic findings.
  • Review of literature supports these findings in similar cases.

Implications:

  • Total colonoscopy with biopsy is crucial for diagnosing collagenous colitis.
  • Early diagnosis improves patient outcomes for chronic diarrhea.
  • This emphasizes the need for endoscopic evaluation in unexplained diarrhea.
