abstract: Repeated colonic and rectal biopsies from a 47-year-old woman with chronic watery diarrhoea showed an approximately 50 micrometer thick subepithelial band-like collagenous deposit. The histopathological and clinical picture was consistent with the recently described condition of 'collagenous colitis'.
