-Ulcerative colitis is a systemic disease that affects many areas of the body. PSC is often listed as a manifestation of ulcerative colitis outside the colon. PSC differs from these manifestations in that, unlike most other manifestations, PSC continues in spite of surgical removal of the colon.[http://www.acg.gi.org] This suggests that, while the cause of ulcerative colitis, and most of its manifestations, is in the colon, the cause of PSC is located outside the colon.
