A 59-year old woman was referred for colonoscopy with symptoms of diarrhea for two months and unintentional weight loss of seven kilograms. The patient had a history of Graves disease treated with radioactive iodine therapy. She used a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Colonoscopy revealed multiple longitudinal mucosal tears in the ascending colon resembling cat scratch lesions. Biopsies were taken in the ascending colon. |
