title: Histopathological changes in haemorrhoid associated mucosa and submucosa.
abstract: The histological features of haemorrhoids are detailed in this study with special attention to the mucosal changes. These include significant crypt distortion, with stromal hyperplasia which bear a remarkable resemblance to the changes seen in mucosal prolapse syndrome. We propose that the mucosal prolapse syndrome should include haemorrhoids as part of the spectrum.
