Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2014 Sep;96(6):e13-4. doi: 10.1308/003588414X13946184903009.

Abstract

We present a unique case of a rectal mucocoele affecting a patient several years after his subtotal colectomy for ulcerative colitis. This was secondary to both a benign anorectal stenosis and a benign mucus secreting rectal adenoma. This case highlights the importance of surveillance in such patients.
