Case Report-Giant villous adenoma in an incarcerated rectal prolapse: A clinical conundrum!
Rectal prolapse is a distressing condition associated with
incontinence. However, incarcerated rectal prolapse is a rather rare
entity. We had a 75-year-old man with irreducible rectal prolapse who
required recto-perineal sigmoidectomy (Altemeier's procedure) after
failure of initial conservative treatment. Histology showed rectal
tubulo villous adenoma with moderate to severe dysplasia. This case is
unusual as it is a rare combination of irreducible rectal prolapse,
which appears to have been caused by a large neoplastic change. Rectal
prolapse represents full-thickness protrusion of the rectum through the
anal sphincter mechanism. Rarely, the prolapsed portion of the rectum
can become incarcerated or even strangulated. The exact incidence of
rectal prolapse although unknown, it is a rather rare entity. We hereby
report a case of a rectal prolapse with incarceration and neoplastic
change
