“…Colonic mucosal prolapse is often misdiagnosed due to its varied clinical presentation, which can mimic other pathologic conditions. As a result, the true prevalence of this condition is largely unknown, as it is often not recognized or misdiagnosed [ 5 ]. Mucosal prolapse typically affects people in their fourth to sixth decade of life and is more common in males than females (3:1 ratio) [ 6 ].…”

“…Symptoms may include chronic constipation with straining, recurring abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, tenesmus (the sensation of incomplete emptying), partial incontinence, and gastrointestinal bleeding (either occult or gross). The exact mechanism causing mucosal prolapse is not fully understood, but it is believed that spastic contraction of the bowel wall during defecation in patients with chronic straining leads to mucosal redundancy, passive venous congestion, and obstruction [ 5 , 6 ]. Colonic mucosal prolapse can be a manifestation of more serious conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer.…”

Colonic mucosal prolapse syndrome is a rare type of non-neoplastic non-inflammatory colorectal polyps that can mimic neoplastic lesions. We present a case of a 65-year-old man with mucosal prolapse syndrome, incidentally, discovered during colorectal cancer screening. The patient was asymptomatic, and his physical exam and laboratory test results were unremarkable. During a colonoscopy, the physician removed three small tubular adenomas and two pedunculated polyps suspicious of neoplasms. Retroflexion revealed small internal hemorrhoids. The histology of the larger polyps revealed mucosal prolapse features, while the smaller polyps displayed features consistent with tubular adenomas. Management involves the removal of associated polyps during colonoscopy, followed by surveillance colonoscopy to detect any recurrent polyps or early signs of colorectal cancer. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and ensure appropriate management.

Rectal mucosal prolapse is uncommon in children. While most patients present with rectal bleeding and constipation, the occurrence of osseous metaplasia within the prolapsed mucosa is extremely rare. Overlapping clinical, gross, and histological features between rectal mucosal prolapse polyps and malignancy pose a challenge for diagnoses. We describe a case of a 16-year-old male who had a rectal mucosal prolapsed polyp with osseous metaplasia. He initially presented due to periumbilical pain with a sore throat and fever. Incidentally, during the workup of his periumbilical pain, he was found to have a soft tissue mass in his rectum on a CT scan, with a biopsy confirming the diagnosis. The case was complicated by the development of sepsis. The patient was treated with empiric antibiotics and was discharged without further complications.
