Pathology - Microscopic colitis
Definition • A chronic variant of colitis marked by persistent watery diarrhea, normal or almost normal colonoscopy findings, and microscopic indications of colonic inflammation. Categories Two forms are identified: lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. Lymphocytic colitis has an incidence of 3 cases per 100,000 individuals.
• Equal incidence of sex.
The average age of onset is 50 years
. • Significant correlation with celiac disease. Mucosal biopsy results reveal an elevated quantity of plasma cells in the lamina propria and an increased presence of intraepithelial lymphocytes.
• The majority of patients exhibit a positive response to pharmacological treatment. Collagenous colitis • Incidence of 1 to 2 per 100,000 individuals. • Notable preference for women
The average age of onset is 60 years.
• Correlation between NSAIDs and celiac disease. Mucosal biopsy findings reveal subepithelial collagen deposition, an elevated count of plasma cells in the lamina propria, and an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes. • The majority of patients exhibit a positive response to pharmacological treatment.
