Abstract

Primary linitis plastica of the rectum is an infrequent and unusual rectal carcinoma. We report a new case that presented clinically as a haemorrhoidal syndrome. We comment on the characteristics--clinical picture and histopathology--of this uncommon presentation of rectal tumour, as well as its clinical history and prognosis taking into account that the literature consulted indicated the unusualness of primary linitis plastica of the rectum.
