Abstract

A 39-year-old man presented with diarrhea and abdominal pain. At 26 years of age, he was found to have eosinophilia and abnormal liver function parameters, for which prednisolone therapy was started. He subsequently underwent a liver biopsy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and received a diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). On presentation to our hospital, he was further diagnosed with eosinophilic colitis based on aggravation of diarrhea and severe eosinophilic infiltration in the colonic mucosa. We herein report a rare case of concurrent PSC and eosinophilic colitis.
