Abstract

Collagenous colitis has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis in only a few cases. We describe a 76-year-old man with chronic rheumatoid arthritis whose diarrhea and abdominal pain came from collagenous colitis. He had a good clinical response to sulfasalazine. We review the clinical and histopathological features of collagenous colitis, together with the different therapeutic approaches.
