Abstract

Collagenous colitis belongs to the group of microscopic colitis. The aetiology and pathogenesis are unknown but different pathogenic hypothesis, autoimmune, infectious, alimentary and medicinal being are advanced, the last one being the most frequent aetiology. The collagenous gastritis is a rare entity and its association with collagenous colitis was exceptionally reported, only six cases being published. We report the seventh case of collagenous gastritis, ileitis and colitis in a 75-year-old woman with chronic diarrhea and important weight loss. This thickened subepithelial collagen band was appeared in an autoimmune injury context with antecedent of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and probably chronic atrophic Biermer's gastritis. The clinical and histological evolution was favourable with budesonide.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.
