Polyp-simulating mucosal prolapse syndrome

Kelly (Kelly 1991) suggested that these lesions were quite common in the population as they were detected in 8 of a series of 118 resected colonic specimens. The polyp-simulating mucosal prolapse syndrome is histologically similar to the prolapse described in the solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, inflammatory cloacogenic polyps and gastric antral vascular ectasia (Tendler et al. 2002) (Fig. 8.41).
