Rectal prolapse is a benign pathology of the rectum, typically seen in women that are multiparous and postmenopausal.
General
Epidemiology:
- ~90% women, postmenopausal and multiparous.[2]
Treatment:
- Surgical:
- Delorme procedure = mucosa stripped.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- "Fibromuscular hyperplasia" - key feature:
- Fibrosis (submucosa, lamina propria).
- Muscularis mucosae is "too superficial" (muscle in the lamina propria).
- Surface ulceration + inflammation (neutrophils).
- May show frank ischemic changes - see ischemic colitis.
- +/-Serration of epithelium at the surface.
Notes:
- Important negative: no nuclear atypia.
Images
Rectal prolapse - low mag. (WC/Nephon)
Rectal prolapse - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)
Sign out
RECTAL MUCOSA, DELORME PROCEDURE: - SUPERFICIAL RECTAL WALL WITH FIBROMUSCULAR HYPERPLASIA AND EDEMA. - NEGATIVE FOR DYSPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
Micro
The sections show rectal mucosa, submucosa and a small amount of muscularis propria. The mucosa shows fibromuscular hyperplasia with thickening of the muscularis mucosae and mild lamina propria fibrosis. The submucosa is edematous. The small amount of muscularis propria is unremarkable. The epithelium matures normally to the surface. No significant nuclear atypia is identified.
