Abstract

In our center solitary ulcer of the rectum has a low incidence. There has been only one case in more than 13,000 distal endoscopic studies performed in the last ten years. Its rarity, and its possible confusion with other pathologies of the distal colon motivated our interest in this disease. The clinical and diagnostic features and therapeutic attitude in solitary rectal ulcer are remarked.
