title: [A descending colon tumour prolapsing from anus: case report].
abstract: Most colonic polyps are asymptomatic and the incidence rises during sixth and seventh decades. Symptoms and signs may vary with histological types and location. Clinical features include fresh rectal bleeding, mucoid diarrhea and prolapsus of stalked rectal polyps located near distal segment. Here we discuss a case with a rare clinical presentation, who had sessile malign villous adenoma located in the descending colon, which caused colocolic intussusception and prolapsed through the anus.
