要旨●患者は40歳代,男性.主訴はなく,生来健康で既往歴は特に認めなかった.健診目的に大腸内視鏡検査を施行したところ,直腸下部(Rb領域)に20mm大の隆起性病変を認めた.病変の境界は比較的明瞭でLST(laterally spreading tumor)様の形態を示しており,拡大観察では楕円形,直線型の多彩なpitが観察され,腫瘍性病変・非腫瘍性病変の鑑別を要する病変であった.病変部からの生検では,線維筋症(fibromuscular obliteration)を認め,直腸粘膜脱症候群の像を示していた.
A 40-year-old male without any significant medical history visited the hospital for colon cancer screening. The patient had no gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, constipation, bloody stool, or abdominal pain. Physical examination and clinical laboratory evaluations resulted in no significant findings. Colonoscopy revealed a flat, elevated lesion in the rectum. The lesion was red in color and appeared to be a tumor spreading laterally. Dilated, round, and partially linear pits were observed in the lesion using magnifying endoscopy with crystal violet staining. The pits gradually resolved to a normal appearance at the margins of the lesion.
Biopsy examination showed no signs of malignancy, and fibromuscular obliteration was observed in the lamina propria. These findings are consistent with MPS(mucosal prolapse syndrome). This patient did not require treatment because he was asymptomatic.
MPS is a benign disease mainly caused by the habit of straining during bowel movements and rectal mucosal prolapse. It is categorized into three subtypes:flat, ulcerative, and polypoid. It is histologically characterized by fibromuscular obliteration of the lamina propria. This condition is relatively common but presents with various patterns. Importantly, MPS can be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. The current case was examined with magnifying endoscopy, and we were able to diagnose benign MPS instead of a malignant tumor.
