Collagenous colitis is a newly recognized entity presenting clinically as chronic watery diarrhea and histologically by a thickened subepithelial collagenous band in colonic biopsies. We report the case of a middle aged woman affected of acute diarrhea in whom, after ruling out its main etiologies, the diagnosis of collagenous colitis was made.
