title: Collagenous colitis.
abstract: A middle-aged female with chronic, watery diarrhea was diagnosed after extensive evaluation as having collagenous colitis. The clinical, histological, and pathological findings of our case and those previously reported are reviewed. The diagnostic importance of total colonoscopy with biopsy in a normal-appearing colon in a patient with chronic, undiagnosed, watery diarrhea is discussed.
