ABSTRACT
The proper management of a prolapsed rectal mass in a child or teenager is challenging. Given that the underlying etiology of a prolapsed rectal mass in this population is not always immediately clear, interdisciplinary assessment is often required. Juvenile polyps, more commonly presenting with bleeding than a prolapsed mass, can mimic the appearance of both hemorrhoids and the rectum itself - making a purely clinical diagnosis difficult. Presented here is a case of a prolapsed colorectal polyp in a teenage boy, who underwent manual reduction of the mass, followed by colonoscopy and endoscopic ligation. Further histological evaluation revealed it to be a juvenile retention polyp. Despite the rarity of polyp prolapse as a presenting symptom, this case underscores the importance of considering colonic polyps as the etiology of a prolapsed anorectal mass in a teenager.
