Lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis are two histologic forms of microscopic colitis, a condition which was first recognized over 30 years ago. It is often found in adults with chronic, watery diarrhea although endoscopic examination of the colon is frequently normal. The diagnosis is based on microscopic examination of colonic biopsies.
