Abstract

Introduction: There have been several reported cases of lansoprazole-associated collagenous colitis (CC) reported in the literature but only I reported case of lansoprazole-associated lymphocytic colitis (LC) in the literature. Both CC and LC are considered inflammatory bowel diseases, but they are distinctly classified based on the condition of the colon, which is typically confirmed through biopsy.
