- Abstract
A 49-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment of diarrhea. Colonoscopic findings revealed indistinct vascular patterns and extensive edema in a colon segment, and white granular mucosa and crack-like appearance in the sigmoid colon and rectum. She was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis (LC) based on lymphocytic infiltration into the epithelium on histopathological examination. Diarrhea symptoms resolved after long-term medication withdrawal. This medicine's composition was changed 4 years ago and this modification possibly triggered LC.
