Abstract

Ulcerative colitis can present with extra-intestinal manifestations, including interstitial lung disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis. When pulmonary symptoms precede gastrointestinal, diagnosis can be challenging. Consideration of Ulcerative colitis in patients with unexplained lung and hepatic pathology is crucial, as a failure of timely intervention can lead to multiorgan complications.

Keywords: cryptogenic organizing pneumonia; interstitial lung diseases; primary sclerosing cholangitis; ulcerative colitis.
