 Scars after rectal biopsies |
This patient had suffered from a slight diarrhea for some months. A rigid sigmoideoscopy was performed, the finding was normal and microscopic examination of the biopsies showed normal rectal mucosa. One week later a colonoscopy was done, as the normal sigmoideoscopy finding did not explain the cause of the diarrhea. This is an endoscopic view from the rectum.
