Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome Mimicking Rectal Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a rare benign and chronic rectal disease that has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and variable endoscopic findings [1]. Rectal bleeding and abdominal pain are known as the main symptoms of SRUS. Usually, it is misdiagnosed through colonoscopy [2]; SRUS mimicking rectal cancer according to endoscopic findings, abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been very rarely reported [3]. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with an ulcerated mass of the rectum representing an SRUS variant.
