Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Colonoscopic findings. Erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mucosal granularity, and easy touch bleeding were observed at the rectum (A, B) and sigmoid colon (C, D).

• 

  Fig. 2 Pathology findings of colonic mucosa. Numerous eosinophils (arrows) were identified in the lamina propria and crypt epithelium of colonic mucosa with crypt architectural distortion at the rectum (A) and sigmoid colon (B) (A, B: H&E, ×200).

• 

  Fig. 3 Follow-up endoscopic findings. Improvement of the previous endoscopic abnormalities at the rectum (A) and sigmoid colon (B) after steroid treatment.
