Abstract

A 46-year-old man simultaneously developed chronic seronegative non destructive oligoarthritis and chronic watery diarrhoea. Biopsies from the colorectal mucosa showed a thickened subepithelial collagen layer consistent with collagenous colitis. Collagenous colitis should be added to the list of causes of enteropathic arthritis.
