title: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome.
abstract: We report three cases of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS). The diagnosis was established according to histopathologic criteria. But, the initial clinical diagnosis was carcinoma, non-specific ulcer and localized proctitis respectively. SRUS is considered as one of functional disorder in pelvic floor which might go underdiagnosed due to unfamiliar concept in Korea. So we should consider SRUS to be one of the differential diagnosis in cases of complaining anorectal symptoms.
