Progressive systemic sclerosis: report of a case with colonic involvement. 1978

K Nagasako, and Y Ota, and H Sasaki, and K Hamano

A case of progressive systemic sclerosis associated with colonic involvement is described. Barium-enema examination revealed segmental involvement. Colonoscopic examination of the whole range of the involved colon revealed wide-mouthed diverticula with interspersed rigid areas and numerous ulcerations. These colonoscopic findings appeared to be distinct from those associated with tuberculosis and Crohn's disease.
