ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Case characteristics
Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is an uncommon benign disease. It has been reported previously, but the case of SURS arising secondarily to sessile serrated adenomas/polyp (SSA/p) has been rarely reported.
Clinical diagnosis
Rectal ulcer.
Differential diagnosis
Rectal cancer.
Laboratory diagnosis
Blood and mucus were detected in the feces.
Imaging diagnosis
Thickening of the rectal mucosa-submucosa.
Pathological diagnosis
SRUS with SSA/P.
Treatment
Mainly medical therapy, and if not relieved, surgical management is indicated.
Related reports
A review of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome has been reported by Ala I Sharara in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
This case will contribute to improvements in our understanding of SRUS with SSA/P. This case may also serve as a reminder to gastroenterologists, surgeons and pathologists who may encounter SRUS cases in their clinical practice.
