Abstract
A 32-year-old patient with a history of bronchiectasis presented after having experienced one or two bowel movements with pas- sage of blood and mucus per day for 1 year. A colonoscopy had been performed at another centre 6 months previously and reported as normal. Physical examination and laboratory tests showed no relevant abnormalities. Rectal sigmoidoscopy was performed up to 25 cm and a solitary pedunculated, erythematous, and friable polyp was observed 5 cm from the anal margin. The polyp was removed (Fig. 1), and subsequent pathology findings were con- sistent with inflammatory cloacogenic polyp. The patient remains asymptomatic after excision of the polyp.
