title: Rectal biopsy in early Lymphogranuloma venereum proctitis.
abstract: Two cases of early Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) proctitis are presented, with discussion of the histopathologic findings of the rectal biopsy specimens. Emphasis is placed on the need to recognize this condition in the early stage of inflammation, before the development of stricture, so that complete cure can be effected.
