Lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis represent two conditions that fall under the category of microscopic abnormalities within the lamina propria of the colon. Patients are predominantly women in the sixth decade of life who present with non-bloody watery diarrhea. Few other symptoms exist. Diagnosis is based upon finding characteristic abnormalities in the colonic mucosa, more likely to be found on the right side of the colon than the left. Treatment is symptomatic, although some newer therapies suggest regression of the lesion. Other autoimmune associations have been described, including celiac disease, and appropriate work-up for this condition should be considered for the patient who has seemingly refractory colitis. The natural history is benign, and most patients experience resolution of their symptoms.
