Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and microscopic colitis (MC) are two distinct subgroups within the larger group of colitides.

Zusammenfassung:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and microscopic colitis (MC) are two distinct subgroups within the larger group of colitides. MC could manifest as collagenous colitis (CC) or lymphocytic colitis (LC). The co-occurrence of MC in patients with IBD is rare, with few cases reported. No concurrent case of MC and ulcerative colitis (UC) each presenting with distinct clinical manifestations was found in the literature review. We report a case of a 76-year-old male presenting with concurrent CC and UC. The patient's initial flare of UC was characterized by episodes of bloody diarrhea while his flare of CC was evidenced by watery diarrhea.
