Co-occurrence of psoriatic arthritis with collagenous colitis: clinicopathologic findings of a case

A 58-year-old man developed psoriatic arthritis and, after 6 months, persistent watery diarrhoea. Biopsies from the colorectal mucosa showed thickened subepithelial collagen consistent with collagenous colitis. There also was an inflammatory cell infiltration (mainly lymphocytes and monocytes) in th...

Zusammenfassung:	A 58-year-old man developed psoriatic arthritis and, after 6 months, persistent watery diarrhoea.

There also was an inflammatory cell infiltration (mainly lymphocytes and monocytes) in the chorion. These findings and the parallel course of articular and bowel complaints suggest a clinicopathologic correlation between arthritis and colic involvement.
