The aetiology of ulcerative colitis is unknown. Two patients without pre-existing inflammatory bowel disease in whom end colostomy for faecal incontinence was complicated by diversion colitis in the defunctioned rectosigmoid colon, are described. In both instances, colitis with the clinical, colonoscopic, and microscopic features of ulcerative colitis developed about a year later in the previously normal in-stream colon proximal to the colostomy. These cases suggest that diversion colitis may be a risk factor for ulcerative colitis in predisposed individuals and that ulcerative colitis can be triggered by anatomically discontinuous inflammation elsewhere in the large intestine.

Tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN) in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease, both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is usually considered as drug-associated to aminosalicylate. We report a rare case of granulomatous active tubulo-interstitial nephritis in a young patient with a recent diagnosis of ulcerative colitis naïve to aminosalicylate treatment. The patient has been successfully treated with steroids administration. Our purpose is to sensitize that TIN should always to be considered in differential diagnosis an extra-intestinal manifestation of bowel disease.
