Collagenous colitis in a patient with systemic sclerosis: a rare entity.
Collagenous colitis has been associated with autoimmune diseases. Co-occurence of systemic sclerosis and collagenous colitis is particularly rare. Herein, we described a 65-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis whose diarrhea and abdominal cramping were due to collagenous colitis. We have reviewed the clinical and histopathological features of collagenous colitis with regard to its concomitance with systemic sclerosis.
