This case report is of a 7 year old girl who<br />presented with frequent passage of slimy stool mixed with blood<br />for 4 months. She also had fever, weight loss, abdominal pain<br />and urgency at defecation. Barium enema showed pancolitis<br />with multiple pseudopolyps and collar button appearance.<br />Colonoscopy revealed a friable and granular mucosa with<br />diffuse ulceration and multiple pseudopolyps. There was bloody<br />exudate and the lumen was narrow. Histopathology findings<br />showed necrosed tissue probably representing a base of ulcer<br />and inflammatory cell infiltrate in the lamina propria. The<br />crypt architecture was distorted with cryptitis and goblet cell<br />depletion. There was no granuloma. She was diagnosed as a<br />case of ulcerative colitis &amp; treated with Sulfasalazine and oral<br />corticosteroid. Her response to treatment was very well and<br />now she is on regular follow up.<br /><br />DOI: 10.3329/jbcps.v28i2.5372<br /><br />J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2010; 28: 117-120 ER -
