Benign lymphoid hyperplasia in the rectum can cause rectal prolapse in children. Surgical removal of these nodules effectively resolves the prolapse, preventing recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Recurrent rectal prolapse in children can be a distressing condition.
  • Submucosal rectal masses are an uncommon cause of pediatric rectal prolapse.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old girl presented with a 5-month history of recurrent rectal prolapse.
  • Colonoscopy revealed two submucosal masses in the distal rectum.

Findings:

  • Biopsies diagnosed the masses as benign lymphoid hyperplasia.
  • Surgical excision of the nodules was performed with limited dissection.
  • Histologic confirmation of benign lymphoid hyperplasia was obtained post-excision.

Implications:

  • Surgical management of benign rectal lymphoid hyperplasia can successfully treat pediatric rectal prolapse.
