ABSTRACT
Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of chronic watery diarrhea, with the highest incidence in women over age 50.1 Cross-sectional studies have suggested that patients with MC have a lower incidence of adenomatous colon polyps compared with those without MC.2-4 The existing literature is limited by cross-sectional design, small sample sizes, lack of longitudinal follow-up, and the use of average-risk patients, rather than those with chronic diarrhea, as controls. We aimed to explore the association between MC and colon adenomas.
