Abstract
Proctitis cystica profunda is an uncommon benign rectal condition with a range of appearances that has led to confusion in nomenclature. In a personal series of 28 patients with histologically proven proctitis cystica profunda, over 50% had associated rectal prolapse. Cure of the prolapse cured the proctitis cystica profunda in 80% of the patients only. Direct surgical excision (local or segmental) has not been successful and 2 patients have required a stoma for relief of pain.
