ABSTRACT
Lymphocytic colitis is a rare syndrome of watery diarrhoea, normal colonoscopy findings and mucosal inflammation. The patient does not present with bloody diarrhoea as there is no mucosal ulceration. A 30-year-old male presented with complaints of pain abdomen for 6 months. Ultrasound showed oedematous ileo-cecal junction with ileocolic lymphadenopathy which was managed with antibiotics. He presented again with symptoms of intestinal obstruction in the following month. On laparotomy, there was ileo-cecal thickening for which right hemicolectomy was done. The biopsy report came as lymphocytic colitis. This is a very rare presentation for a case of lymphocytic colitis.
