Abstract
We report a case of lymphocytic colitis in a 74-year-old woman presenting with watery diarrhea since 1 year and in whom previous extensive investigations were normal. The diagnosis could be made on the basis of typical pathological pattern in colonic biopsies. The outcome was favourable with salazopyrine therapy. The clinical, histological and pathophysiological aspects of lymphocytic colitis are discussed.
