description Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of two major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is defined as a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease limited to the colorectal mucosal layer and characterized by relapsing and remitting episodes of inflammation. UC almost invariably involves the rectum and extends proximally in a continuous distribution to part or the entire colon. Development of disease after 75 years of age is uncommon, with new-onset over the age of 80 accounting only for 1% of all new diagnoses. We present a case of a new onset UC in a 90-year-old patient presenting with painless hematochezia.
